Pivoting Front Camber Arms R32/33 Gts/gtr

[Mr GTR-32]

I agree not being updated can get a little frustrating sometimes.

[jonn]

I've just got off the phone with UAS and they have had some delays with the manufacturer. At present the arms are getting the final coating done and should be ready in the next couple of weeks.

[Mr GTR-32]

Yay great news finally someone has managed to get some info well done John, "You da man"

Will these be for sale after this groupbuy? I wanted to be apart of the GB but funds have been tight up until now.

I really want these so I hope they will be available.

Or if you can ship to Canada and someone is going to drop out I will take there spot!

[fatz]

group buy is sold out so they made 40 and its fully subsribed so john says

So I went out to Bosenjack engineering today to have a look at these things for myself and get some up to date pics for everyone.

Tell you what they put on the best smoke and mirror show I have ever seen. Awesome workshop, very clean and well equipped. Terry is a tope bloke he took a good half an hour off to show me all the bits and pieces, draw diagrams, answer all my questions, etc etc.

But I guess you all want the pictures? For starters here is a shot showing all of the pieces made up and ready for assembly. I will save black baz the trouble and point out myself that the bits are in fact silver, not black (or paisley, tartan, plaid ) as previously indicated. This is because the zinc coating process for black is not perfect and can result in a slightly tarnished finish. An executive decision was made to get these done sooner with the better finish than to bugger around trying to get the black finish perfect.

And this is what they look like assembled

Terry's work is far better than the prototype that was supplied. For starters the end pieces are not just welded. The large section is notched and dowl pinned, and the small piece has a ball end at the T piece so that it fits together and is then welded. See illustration below.

The parts have all been heat treated and hardened, and the arms are completely serviceable.

As discussed at some length, the fixing system now uses a cotter pin instead of a grub screw. For those that were as confused as I was, the advantage with a cotter pin is that it is a tapered thread with a nut so that it positively fixes into place and cannot come loose. The picture below shows where the grup screw was used (see red circle) in the original design.

See below for an illustration of how the cotter pin is used in the new arms. Have to stress this is not a brand new design, it's an improvement on the what Terry was originally working with.

So what's the holdup? As I mentioned before the cotter pin is tapered, so you have to drill the tapered hole before you make the pin. At the moment the guys are waiting for the tooling to turn up so that they can drill and make the pins. The remaining labour is minimal, as in less than a day to finish the set. As soon as the tool turns up we are all good to assemble.

No Probs, I'll keep my eye on this thread and please PM me if possible if there is a set for me. I will transfer the funds strait away.

I've been actively watching and posting on this thread from day one I didn't pay a deposit as I thought we where waiting for responces for construction turn around times Fatz are all orders been taken already or can we now place orders and pay a holding deposit?.

I'd also be keen on any leftover arms from the gb or if anyone pulls out.

hit us up with a pm if there is.

Cheers, Chris

[lwells]

Also interested in any spares. The auto email notification crapped out on me so I didn't see that this had been finalised.

[Rob260]

Hey guys, I have had a buyer pull out on AUS300. If anyone wants to buy his order you will need to pay $197.50 deposit.

Drop me a PM, first in first served...

DSTROY has got these, was first in with the PM by roughly two hours.

There is already a second run in the pipeline that will be much smoother as tooling etc will already be in place. There is enough material to make another 30 arms but need to get the first batch out the door first.
