Thumbs up Re: More New Upgrades

Hi Pete,

Thanks for the feedback. It's astonishing how much the CAV GT responds to some relatively small changes in upright geometry front and rear. Credit the strong monocoque chassis for allowing these refinements to shine through.

Our first suspension upgrade was the rear lower reversed a-arms New A-Arm Kit , the change in feel and car control was apparent even at low speed around town. Since you already had the rear arms, completing the set by adding the new uprights really brought it all together.

The upgraded lower clevis bolt and mounted block kit we sent out to all our suspension arm customers cured the bending of the the clevis bolts. They are taking the full corner weight and brake torque loads after all.

Hi Cliff,

Looking forward to your order! There's a package price for picking up the new Reversed Lower A-Arms in addition to the core return credit.

CAV Canada did post an upgrade for the front uprights last year, since the new steel uprights weren't ready. You're solution to the mounting block bolts was similar to ours. Who said necessity was the mother of invention! Front Upright Upgrade

All upgrades designed by CAV Canada have to meet a design breif that includes: performance improvements, functionalty to ease installation and maintainance, come as close as possible to the original Ford GT40 part as possible using todays materials and technologies, able to be installed with basic tools we all have.

We strive to hit all the bases with our parts, It was suggested to me by another customer that cars equipped with CAV Canada upgrdes will also be worth more at sale time. I have to agree with him

Cheers
