Hi all,

Upon closer inspection, my A-arms are pretty mangled. They've been welded once, and need more work.

Does anyone have a decent pair they would like to sell? Ebay comes up dry, at the moment. And/or if anyone has any suggestions as to other sources... I'd rather not splash the $400 on new ones, unless completely necessary.
 
I tryed the cheep route

pay up and rebuild everything new its quicker and less frustrating thats what I would do if I had to start fresh.

I put new ones in Miss Agatha, a fine peice of work and I told myself I would never have to do it again.
 
With patience, there is a donor car out there with you name on it, Quite a few parts will come with your a arms if you can only wait.
 
out of three midgets I was able to salvage One decent pair. They are a bit hard to come by and with ebay, sometimes you really dont know what you are getting.
 
I've bitten the bullet and ordered rebuilt arms ($100 each, $212 shipped) from a supplier suggested here on the forum. I'll make sure to document the reassembly! Thanks for all the suggestions.
 
I bought new ones for the Spridget Project, Heritage parts. If they made them out of gold it would be cheaper, but probably too soft. I must say though, they are a nice piece of work!

Aye, those the ones on Miss Agatha. Good forever.
 
maybe platinum would be hard enough and more expensive!!!

yep I bought used ones tore up my knuckles and then ended up buy new.

Eric Jones at Riverside rebuilt mine. I haven't installed them yet, but they look top notch. He also rebuilt my swivels/kingpins. The whole deal was less than $400.
 
Yes, mine are coming from Eric as well. My stub axle bushings are in good shape and I have new kingpins, so I'm simply buying the A-arms. Another $150 of bits & bobs from VB, and Milo will be right as rain.
