would like to get hold on him and order one since when he offered those i didnt had the foundings.....

i have always been thinking flanged bearings and alusides machined just bolted with the fourscrews on the bottom and ears for the shocktower attachement...

like the one skidrow made for his lazer but more original like .................without the topcover for the belt of course

The front gearbox didnt work with flanged bearings as the diff binded and wasnt any freedom hence why i redesigned the cf plates and based it around the zxs rear gearbox design as that worked better, however there was flex with the metal housing and due to that caused the screws to losen which was a headache to maintain as it took a lot of time. For display purposes its great but to run not great. However ive still got the bits and maybe i can this year after ive dealt with the rear gearbox come up with a simpler design using 3d printed as that way you can get it made from alloy as well.

I have to confess the main reason I want one in alloy is because I am a sucker for carbon fibre and blue anodised alloy.
Functionally nylon is probably better as you can have more of an interference fit with the bearings and the small amount of flex helps absorb vibrations plus the threads lock better

Im after some info on the springs. Does anybody know the spring rates in lb's of the black ,silver and gold springs ?

As i said earlier, these arms push the shocks back by 2mm.

U$25 shipped, this is indeed unbreakable, i have tested fronts out of this material cast nylon and indeed no breakage. I will test the whole carwith this arms in Australia this saturday.

Very nice what were the set up costs like, I'd love to get some front arms made for my cougar 2's

Im unsure but know spring rate charts exist on oople

Mate this is staggeringly stunning, yes i see its perfect for big bore shocks now and strength looks like it will be up to the job.

[Welshy40]

Ok hubs just arrived so will first see if the nut holes are correct, as ive a funny felling that the size isnt but will update when I get a chance to fit. Ok plastic versions are perfect but the alloy isnt so does need changing as the nuts dont fit.

I have also made front arms for lazer. If you want for the cougar i will need a sample.

I've dropped them off at a spring manufacture for them to get measure of weights for me , so should be ok.

Not sure if it would be of any interest to anyone but whilst looking for spring rates I stumbled on a company called extra speed who are now making replicas of the option house gold shocks for approx 25USD. Think they are for the 2016 optima so I'm guessing the fronts would be small size not medium for the zxr???

1. The pinch roller space internally isnt big enough, i will fix it.
2. The outer nub that is for pinch roller clearance is too big causing the shock tower to interfere with gearbox, This sample can still be used by grinding that area. Again i will fix this.









Best of all my selling price is much lower than oosh123 ones on shapeways, and you can buy the halves separately. For 1st purchase you need buy 2 halves because each half is not compatible with the originals.

Well it arrived and it fits together really well. Rama has redesigned it really well. Its slightly different due to what he has done but you really need to look at it hard to notice the slight changes that have been done. You will need to make sure no washers are used between bearings on the out drives but this is just the build, really looking forward to test.

Look spot on them any idea on price?

About £7, only issue ive got is you need to glue the slim nuts in first and possibly adding a thin layer of something on one of the flat sides to make a perfect fit so maybe a thick glue may be more preferred as the nuts do move and thats when youll get problems but other than that spot on and the weak points have been addressed and now think it will be fine.

Welsh i have a design job for ya....

Ok knowing you how bad ass of a design is it
