Question Salisbury Billet A arm link.. anyone??

I have seen in in various places photo's of Salisbury IRS lower A arms held together by a billet aluminum link.. I know George Petrus has something he sells for his IRS systems but he uses .500" square rods and the Salisbury units are .625" round units. Anyone know where I can find one???

Regards,

I have the AMP rear suspension in my Contemporary and it works wonderfully. I have quad Koni's , But George recommends Aldans. It's a beautiful unit from any angle.

Don Borders built the cobra I own (not for me) Good call Rick!

Denny is your link part of one of George's assembly?? I talked to him earlier this week and he said the ones he has are square, and it needed to be drilled round. I guess that is OK if it works, Did you drill yours??

Regards,

Michael Strunk

Sorry Denny you said it was an AMP.. It's early and I have not had my coffee.. Can I ask how much the coversion was?? Did it make a huge difference?? I guess my thinking is that they are likely a great deal stronger which would be important if I were racing or was trying to put 500hp to the ground, which I'm not..

My standard, Borders prepared 1969 Jag IRS (quad Koni's too) works wonderfully and I have so many things I need and want more. I'm guessing an AMP unit will go for 1,800-2,500.. Is that close?

I can get the new Cobra R six speed tranny for about that and really need that... yea.. like we need any of this..

Thanks again.

Howdy Michael,

You might also look into CWI, up in Washington. You can get their web address from the search function, I would think, since they've been mentioned many times. Also, I had my entire irs/dif upgraded/rebuilt by Michael at CWI--I opted for the reinforced tubular lower control arms instead of billet, since I also wanted to pay for function but found it difficult to sustain the expense (I'd love the billet ones, but they were a lot more dough). They've worked very well.

TT

Thanks Tom,

My IRS is solid having had a first rate rebuild when the car was built, but the link between the tubes is chrome and I just happened upon an aluminum unit and liked it. The link itself is cheap.. 35-40 bucks.. The one george sells says COBRA across it and is just really cool.

Regards,
