ivan2000 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Took my escort to the certifier and was told to find out where my ajustable arms were made and what brand they are. Thought this would be easy until I tried to contact the guy I bought them off.. he seems to have disappeared. Was hoping someone who has bought these same arms will recognise the add and can give me a brand name to google. http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.asp?id=559561556 Otherwise is there a way around this problem?

peteretep Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 they are welded? they sell alot of welded adjustable tca's in the UK but you will have trouble getting them certed in NZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horse25 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 maybe, these? All the guys on trademe buy their gear from the U.K and sell it for double.... http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=7177 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan2000 Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 Not welded. Think there is a rule saying that these type of parts must be tracable back to a manufacturer incase they fail. The arms look pretty safe to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Putting up a photo of the arm may help a crapload.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan2000 Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 They are the rubber bushed version of these. Bright yellow bushes You might be right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan2000 Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 Look like these ones but yellow bushes. http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=7184 Could probably pass as these, just annoying not knowing for sure. Horse25 might be right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KKtrips Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Perhaps an actual photo of the TCA's you own may help. Otherwise you are asking someone to guess what you think they look like which is about as accurate as a blind game of darts.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My name is Russell Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 What a pain, they should be decent ones nik69 was on selling heaps of nice escort bits up until his last lot of listings on the 18/04/2013 it seems. Just need to track him down I would say, or if you could work out who he purchased them from and go straight to burtons/rally design? any branding on packaging?

My name is Russell Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 This is a more recent listing of the ones he sells with price and live picture http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.aspx?id=583036307 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan2000 Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 Thats the ones. I found his phone number but goes straight to vioicemail. Think he must be overseas. The photo on his add is the same as http://www.motorsport-tools.com. I asked these guys about branding, the told me that they get there parts from rally design. Just sending an email to find out whether Rally design make them or buy them in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Russell Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Sounds like rally design has gear to make there own so that could be a promising lead. advertised as strong and stuff like that cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
