    Ask JAN to build you a set. They won't bend but the will cost you.

    Years ago Jan Brueggemann had some of those, they failed at a track event.
    I wrote them off then.
    It should be possible to fab some up if they are done right. No one has so far to my knowledge. They are available for many other cars, just not MINI's. There's a product for a small shop, I don't think anybody is going to get rich from making them for MINI's though. An enthusiast in a small shop could do it. Maybe somebody will see this and do it. It would be nice. :wink:

    The guy I'm asking for runs the RMW 1800 Mini so as Dave says I told him to ask Jan.

    Those arms looked really strong so if they failed on a track event I don't think they would last long on a rally.
