    Default RF86 LF corner?

    Looking for LF corner for our RF86. Got crashed out on the last corner of the last lap of the Runoffs.

    Shout out to Brandon Lavender for taking his former C-Mod RF85/Ford to a top 10 finish! That puts a smile on my face.

    RF86 parts available anyone?

    Thanks Jon, shame we were so spread out in paddock and couldn't get to meet. Sorry to hear about your incident; I saw you on my way into pit lane but couldn't really tell what happened.

    There may be some used/spares grade parts available around this community but I have concluded that the easiest option is to purchase directly from URS in UK. Simon Dagwood typically returns my emails within 24hrs and has all of the common parts ready to ship same day. With the pound still pretty weak it comes out as a fair price in dollars. I believe Medina Sport also carries everything (they have 85/86 uprights listed on their website) but I have not purchased from them yet. I use 86 (wide) lower A-arms with 85 (narrow) Rockers to get the proper camber.

    Also sending you a PM.
    Good Luck with your repairs

    Default Still looking! Was a FF2000

    I have tried our friends in the UK but no luck so far. This chassis started life as a FF2000 so rockers, a-arms, toe links are all just a bit different. One solution is to change it all to the US spec FF parts but I would love to stay with the wider bits if possible. Once the FF Festival is over I may have a better chance at a production run if the patterns are available.
    Any leads appreciated.

    Try contacting Pat Prince. He is a magician at making parts. If he doesn't already have a jig he can use your RF corner parts as a guide.
