Hi Guys,
The Steel Rear Uprights have been a tremendous sucess and the feedback from car owners using them is very satisfying. They are however not inexpensive to make. In the previous post I mentioned a package price since the new rear uprights won't work with the stock CAV (pre 100 s/n only) lower control arms.
CAV Canada is offering, for a limited time, GT40s Forum members a 10% discount on the package of 2) Reversed Lower Control Arms, 2) Steel Rear Uprights, spacers and hardware.
The regular price of the rear uprights is 1495.00 each and the lower A-arms are 890.00 each. The set of four peices is 4,770.00 less 200.00 package discount equals 4,570.00. With the GT40s Forum members 10% discount that comes down to 4,113.00, now take off 300.00 per core credit for your old uprights - net 3,513.00 plus shipping for the set! (cores have to be rebuildable)
Wow, that's a great deal... I think I'll buy some for myself
Actually, it's my pleasure to offer a break to the GT40s Forum members and CAV owners. The 10% discount applies to everything we manufacture, Suspension Arms, ZF Rod Shifters, ZF Transaxle Bracket, Front and Rear Uprights, Grilles, Steering Colum Quick Disconnects and the soon to be available Big Brake Kit for CAVs with 17" wheels.
The pictures below show in more detail the differences between our Steel Uprights and the old Cape Advanced Vehicle (pre Autofutura) cast upright. Also we are producing a Wide Track Rear Upright version that moves the 10" wide stock offset wheels out to fill the Gulf arches - no more Buick Roadmaster fender overhangs!
The unpainted part gives you an idea of what goes into these uprights, they are brutally strong yet weigh no more than the cast aluminum/steel bolt together parts they replace.
Cheers
