Are these available new?
Are there any good secondhand ones about?
My steering's a bit on the heavy side, so looking for an arm with hole centres between 4" & 4 1/2" |

Hi Adrian,
I am presuming you mean the drop-arms, if so I have just a few left @ £89 to include UK p&p.

Hi Chris
As a matter of interest, what material are these drop arms made from?

Oliver - adrian.paul01@talktalk.net
My existing arm also is not straight - it has approx. 2" offset (looking from the side)... |

Adrian, the info you needed ...
"The arm is made from Cast Ductile Iron with spec of 420/12 elongation Spherical Graphite that gives a 12% strength increase against original drop arm, that were 5 3/16" long. However, hole centres are exactly 4" and have not changed. The serial cast originally has been replicated as 188480A and SOS on the reverse"
The company Manor Foundary in Derbyshire assure me that the very same material is used by them to make similar Aston Martin steering components today
so if you want one that looks right as per originals, stronger than originals then hear ya go ... 21 of these have already been sold

I would have thought the arms would have been forged steel?
