    Hey guys, im a bit curious whether the brackets/bushes were ever made?

    How much did it cost you to make them up.
    Thanks

    Looking into metal stamping the sections that are welded to the original rear A arm pivot, this way I can do it as an exchange item ( send your old brackets back )

    Mill is currently having the tech guy look at a few issues.
    Lots of MK 1 Scirocco's...

    If it aint a MK 1 then it must be a donor car ??

    Cheers,
    Grant...

    Bump for some new info.

    Autotech seem to be stocking a few of the bits and pieces now.

    Autotech Sport Tuning: Swaybars

    including the ping dammit clip, a bargain at only $4




    The rear bar brackets



    The rusty clamp that snaps and has seized bolts which twist off as they mangle the saddle section to the point of snapping.



    They've got all the bushes in urethane too.

    No idea on the other bits , although they do seem to be included with their kits.

    Nice find Pete.

    I had been planning on using some whiteline ones for the centre and then the threaded rod for the outers...



    Or in heavy duty...

    mik don't those whiteline ones require you to drill the floor of the car? Metal stamping will commence this week at the tool makers. I will be making at least 10 sets right now and prices will be cost plus a beer

    Yep, need to drill up through the channels in the floor and a hole in the front arms too.

    I owe you some photos on how it's done Mik.

    You don't owe me anything Pete, but when you get time I'd be appreciative. If it means me only drilling into the car once then I'll be stoked.
