Fabcar Arms - RS Barn - 04-11-2009

I totally forgot to announce an important update for anyone with Fabacar control arms.
I had them manufacture 19mm ball joint pins that are an easy update. Fabcar recommened to inspect 17mm pins regularly and replace as scheduled maintaince.
The 19mm pin is a huge improvement and still should be inspected .
I just installed in my Firehawk and feel much safer..

Are the "Fabacar" arms the same as the alloy "charlie" arms.???
I have a set of the latter charlie arm,s with the 19mm pins + was wondering where i could get some replacements, when the time came...???

Yep - I'm glad Mr. Pete is putting 19MM pins in my race cars A arms - safety first.

Dave,
Charlie Arms are different and use their own pin. Sadly Charlie isn't making any replacements. It would be a good idea for some manufacturer to make replacements since there are so many being used in racing and I believe the pins should be replaced as scheduled maintaince.
