Compbrake do something similar, although they do need modifying to fit perfectly.

Colin Satchell (eeyore on here) does a complete rose jointed/tubular/adjustable front end for competition use, it widens the track significantly and revises camber, castor and roll centre of the front end to give better grip, reduced roll (without an ARB), better turn in and steering feel, reduced bump steer etc etc. It's an absolute revelation compared to a normal 205 on revised springs and at risk of going a bit salesman; not as dear as you might think.

Go on then sandy im sat down how much is it?

[Sandy 189]

Best to speak to Colin.

[Dj_mini 7]

Will do ill have a chat with him when we come down to collect james car.

I've just spoken to Colin and his mod is too advanced for the class that we race in.

TMS used to sell tubular arms and they didn't make them themselves,so they must be available from somewhere!!

Sellholm tuning in Sweden, they supplied the TMS ones.

You can also buy them from KMS in France if you are minted!

Just out of interest but can't Colin make them less advanced?

[Sandy 189]

Probably, but if not there'll be a sound reason why.

A mate of mine tried tubular wishbones on his sprint/hillclimb mod prod 205 and they were bent after one run!!!!

The only tubular wishbones I have seen in the metal were bent after 1 stage on a tarmac rally. I think these were TMS.

Swordfish: Colin's username on here is eeyore.

[Sandy 189]

He's not using the forum ATM because the search engine's down and that's how he browses. Not especially forum literate! I'll tell him to check his Inbox though.

If he's still after some beefy ones tell him to get in touch, we do ours in T45, not CDS like most places.

AFIAK, the only failure Colin's ever had with his, was when he simply got it wrong (too confident) and hit a bank hard before rolling several times, at Porlock IIRC. A situation where any suspension would have been damaged. The 1.4 16v 205 we did with them on has been off a few times this year and bent a wheel, but the geometry hasn't been affected.

I'm working on those, I'll have a closer look over christmas when I'm off for a couple of weeks, save having to replace the wishbone every bloody time.

[welshpug 1,622]
