    Default Hewland JFR200 ARB set up

    Looking for ideas for a rear ARB for a pushrod inboard shock setup. Suppliers of any parts would be very helpful. This is for a home build BSR/ASR that I have been running for many years now, but have found I do need to add a rear ARB to help dial things in a bit better. I have seen many for formula cars that look like they would adapt over well but not sure who supplies' the parts.
    Thanks

    out of 111 views, nobody has any information on where to source parts to make a ARB for a bell crank suspension? WOW!
    I thought for sure there would be at least one on this board.

    IN a nutshell, your choices are the chopstick (paddock adjustable) and a T with blades (can be cockpit adjustable). These mount back on the wing mount and actuate with long pushrods to the rockers.

    There'a another option that mounts to the upper ears on the trans above and behind the sideplates. it's what I call a "folded T". Looks like a cross, with the bar being a solid piece in the center welded to a hollow outside section via a cap at the top. the cross arms mount the sliders for adjustment and provide the moment arm.

    In the same location there's a horizontal bar with blades on each end canted at an angle, that's cockpit adjustable.

    Altho kind of far from you, I suggest you try Ron Mong @ Elite Fab & Machine (Ohio). He even has pix on his website of a prior project of a blade-type ARB setup for a Carbir sports racer --

    Ron is also a good guy to deal with!

    Most of us have no clue what you are trying to fabricate.
    Some pictures of the suspension, especially with sketches and/or crude mockups (maybe wood dowels and paint sticks) might generate more productive responses
