QT Radius Arms
Xtremeteam:
thats odd,although i was woking on a 52 plate crew cab & noted that it has different bushes on the chassis end (larger)
on my 90 racer with the standard arms i managed to rip the sticky out bit off due to the arms catching & its not a nice sight,id get intouch with Qt & see what they say

Sounds like a frustrating day Dave :cry:
Iv'e got the SR one's on my (older) motor, but as there's only about 6 months in it I would be surprised if the chassis had been altered, but .............. with Sollihull you never know.
Just for your info the Radius arms are 36mm wide and there is 13mm clearance between the chassis/outrigger and the radius arm, don't know if this will help, but as I've been out in the freezing cold again :shock: and only just thawed out from today's stint with the brakes I reckon you owe me a pint anyway :)

QT must have a solution to your chassis, its not exactly rare is it.

That is indeed plan A at the moment.

They're out in the cold dark garage at the moment, but that sounds like the right sort of thickness on mine. However the old ones have quite a narrow neck, and I don't think even with those the clearance is 13 mm, which suggests something may well have changed.
The good news is I did get the front pads changed, the old ones are at about 2mm, so I did them while I was there. The bad news is that I notice the front arm is catching on the steering guard despite me altering it earlier in the year :( So I'm going to have to trim it again!!!, and the front arm is bent Oops :(
I'm sure we can exchange pints when we excahnge shackles :lol: :lol:
Henry Webster:
Definitely speak to Dave @ QT if he hasn't come across this before (and I'd be surprised if he hasn't) he will want to sort it out, because he will have other potential customers with the same problem.
