Post by: MaTTe on June 24, 2013, 06:22:05 PM: It's the 'might fit bedford' part that concerns me.
We had an indepth discussion on this previously, and you were an active part in the conversation.

Don't get me wrong, it's great to post up parts that people may want, however misleading comments could well convince people new to bedfords to go out and waste money on parts that are not suitable without significant modification..

So thanks Vintage

The information above is not correct. The Stubtech kit uses a standard Bedford top ball joint. It is the bottom suspension arm that is modified to take a HQ ball joint anf then fitted with strengthening rods. I can only assume that Rod had his wires crossed when he originally wrote this.

Post by: Gordon on August 23, 2013, 03:03:29 PM: Hi Vintage

Visited my fabricator earlier today and managed to take a picture of the strengthening rods. They are nothing flash, just a horseshoe shaped piece of 8mm steel rod that gets welded around the outer lip of the suspension arm where the new ball joint seat is fitted.

Hope this helps.
Cheers Gordon
