I need some 1 inch narrowed A arms and I'm having a hard time finding somewhere to buy them. Anyone got any ideas who in the UK I should talk to?

Hi Baz
Are you referring to moving the bearing carrier inside the arm or another method ?
Jim Wotton at vee-dubs in welling did mine.
Leec is correct about Wayne Allman carrying this out too
Thanks
Darren

I'm still trying to get someone to do mine, both guys mentioned above are too busy to commit to doing them anytime soon. Thinking of making a jig and doing them at work with some skilled help. |

Hi Baz Not many pictures but you probably get the idea from speedwells pictures - https://www.airkewld.com/kb_results.asp?ID=15There was also an article on Germanlook.net but parts of the site I can't seem to access on my phone - have a look in the tech section. Thanks Darren |

Thanks Darren Hi darren That jig on airkewled looks easy enough to make, reckon I could get one made up at work.  The bracket that holds the bearing carrier needs to be adjustable though surely? Or needs a 25mm spacer to align the carrier in new position? |

my jig uses a stock stub axle, i let the carrier slide in on the axle after its cut loose, that way it stays centered

Do you have to narrow the drive shafts too?

you have to use narrowed axles or two right side automatic type 3 axles (these are shorter, but hard to find), the stub axles dont have to be modified

My bearing housings AND arm mounting points have been moved inwards so I'll be needing some short (probably custom length) shafts. My first call will be to Pete at Cogbox  Thanks Darren |

i have found that not all irs arms are the same, with some you can move the carrier in 20mm, with some 25mm or anything inbetween
