Group, No , I wouldn't try to sell you a pair of lower control arms unless you needed them. There would lots of way's to fix them. Since some admitted old Hot Rodders wouldn't leave home without bailing wire and Duck Tape and since subject has been placed in the minds of the De Lorean owners about bolts bending and breaking and the damage it could cause, I thought it would be a good time to bring it up about Lower control arms. To me almost the same rule applies. Metal Fatigue. Since Toby works at Boeing, I'm sure he can explain it to you. The last time I was told what they were selling for on a dealer web site was about $660.00. The ones I list on the site are over $100.00 + dollars cheaper. The originals were made if 1/16th steel and the ones I have are 1/8" steel. Yes you can weld on the existing arms to repair them. $20.00 is a good cost. But how many De Lorean owners have the equipment and a good place to do the work and them off and send them to you. Then how many would want a patched up job. The best way to fix them and drive with no concern would be to replace them new with higher quality. An, east coast Dealer and De Lorean restorer had these made and is listing them on my site for sale at very little profit. When you have them laser cut and get the minimum order together, then it's quite an investment. The point I was making was the fragile nature of the arms. Several have been replaced and other dealers are repairing or making new ones. I had mentioned in an earlier post about the 12.9 bold that was slightly bent, and the someone said in a round about way if it's bent then breaking is almost enviable. The whole moral of the story is. Do you want to patch it or replace it with a better up grade. The 12.9 bolt, plated is and up grade and Toby's bolt of Inconel 718 is an up grade, it all just gets back to the pocket book. One other thing I would like to say about metal flexing, Why are people still working in buildings and crossing bridges that Flex. Some things are made to do that. Even Boeing planes do it and we still ride in them. John hervey www.specialTauto.com
