If you do a search on compbrake you should find a few threads regarding these wishbones as there has been a group buy in the past.

They look like the price has dropped from £300 odd, please correct me if im wrong.

i found good news and bad news about them, good news is they will be even cheaper because of a 10% discount but bad news is some people struggle to get more than 1.5 camber. i hope they have sorted the faults?

I considered these and then read the various threads on here.

 

I've just fitted BBM's top mounts not cheap but really well made and seem to provide plenty of camber/caster adjustment.

I didn't think they were available for sale as yet.

i had them, didnt fit ( even after i was assured they would) sent them back

 

i have made my own now

 

and after 3 track days and many miles on the roadm, mine have be fine

Do you mean the wishbones, on that site they say something about having to make them better.

Funnily enough i was looking at these last night as i have a similar set running with no ARB, but considering them for a lesser-suspended acr that would need the ARB. I was going to post a similar thread, also asking if anyone's managed to get them to fit with the standard ARB, but after some searching found it seems that few have, TT205 etc, but the general consensus was not, and that they're not an amazing design anyway!

[Spiky 37]

what is weird, is that they DO fit some cars,

 

so can only assume some 205's have a different ARB and i mean a couple on MM difference

 

Sounds of silences bought 2 sets, fitted one car but not the other.

Id like to have a look, f*** the haters!

im thinking maybe the compobrake ones are too much a change to the original wishbone design and might not be allowed in the road going rules.

 

I was thinking someone must be able to do the following design on standard bones for less, cause at the moment i think these might be the only type i can get

these are mine

 

[burr_2000 1]

thats what im talking about, spiky surely with decent welds yours is as fit for purpose as the one in my recent post and a fraction of cost.

[Spiky 37]

mine werent that cheap

 

here is a price list (if my memory is right)

 

wishbone free...lol

new pug inner bushes £22

the inserts made up £40 a pair i think

RJ £12 each

welding both inserts £30?

my mate machining the wishbone = free

 

total for 2 wishbones was £116

[welshpug 1,658]

pretty damn cheap compared to what you see on ebay! though you haven't included the cost of the pin, spacers and nut that go in the hub+RJ

[Spiky 37]

good point, as i didnt give them back to Compbrake

 

i can buy them from my local nut and bolt shop for a few quid each and my mate can machine them, as we did one to test

 

so add £10

 

the spacers, can "probably" be bought from a few places

[Rippthrough 98]

yours is as fit for purpose as the one in my recent post and a fraction of cost.

 

As good as the compbrake ones anyway.

 

surely with decent welds

 

Even the best weld will weaken the parent material, you just have to hope that Peugeot put enough strength in there for you to get away with it.

I've said before about the rose joints loaded that way, but again, no worse than the ones this topic was discussing.

[welshpug 1,658]

how would you do them then phill?

[burr_2000 1]

i suppose with a company you have always got come back if something goes wrong.

[Rippthrough 98]

how would you do them then phill?

 

*Looks under 306*

 

Like that!

[welshpug 1,658]

ahhhh ok

 

got a jig yet?
