Paulsb Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 evening all,a question if you please i know you only get what you pay for but i have been looking at adjustable trailing arm brackets, moss and rimmers are around £200.00 a set and revingtons are almost £ 500 just wondered why as there does"nt seem to be a clue in the pictures any information would be appreciated thanks in advance.

barkerwilliams Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Paul, Goodparts are about $130 or £99'ish, perhaps(?) more representative of costs stateside. https://www.goodparts.com/shop/index.php?categoryID=13 Alan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisR-4A Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Try ringing Revingtons and asking them why there's are more expensive. They can usually tell you and then you can decide if there worth the extra. I have done this with various items and there usually is a valid difference, often they are not happy with items currently available and end up making their own. You can then decide whether you need their design or the other will do. Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peejay4A Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 I’ve had the Goodparts ones on for >6 years and they’re fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sapphire72 Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 (edited) I purchased & installed the Goodparts camber adjustable TA brackets (bought them via The Roadster Factory, same price). Alan's given price is what I paid, + shipping. They are an excellent, excellent quality product. Instructions come with them, which must be followed carefully. Good to replace TA bushings at same time, I used the HD rubber bushings & am most pleased with them. Notice that the outer bracket is mounted with the adjuster in the middle position & the inner brackets with the adjuster in the lower position. You can see the silver shims in the 2nd photo. You want to pay attention to way the shims (toe adjustment) are presently, replace them in same positions. Edited October 1, 2018 by Sapphire72 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SeanF Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 I bought mine from Rimmers a few years ago and they were actually Goodparts made items. Have the instruction sheet written by Goodparts inside the packaging. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JochemsTR Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 Revington buys them directly from one of my TR Friends...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JochemsTR Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 All, Find below the latest pictures of the brackets. He sells them also to Revington, hence the similarity. But you can contact him directly, www.weelhens.com or contact me for direct emailadress and pricing. I responded to all PMs. Jochem Latest version: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waldi Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Hi Jochem, looking nice. The items in your first post are welded, the items in your latest post are bend, this is better. Regards, Waldi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JochemsTR Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Hi Waldi, yes, this is the latest version ! Got those pictures yesterday. Jochem Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stuart Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Do you still need to shim these brackets as it seems one does up and down and the other a slight in and out? Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JochemsTR Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 No shimming required! It changes Toe and Chamber ! Jochem Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waldi Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Aha, now I see: one bracket is for the horizontal alignment, the other is for the vertical alignment (per arm). Very smart design. I had my 1st TR6 on a 4-wheel alignment station, got the results (required corrections) went home, did the math (goniometry), shimmed where required, went back on the station and all was perfect. The alignment-tech was surprised how close it was to the WSM-settings, so, although this is a nice feature, it is not a nessecity for normal road use. Waldi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JochemsTR Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) Hi Waldi, this is exactly the debate we‘ve been having here in Germany. I fully agree with you. Once you set your Toe and Chamber, how often do you change this? But for the ones among us, including myself, for track use, changing wheels, adjusting springs, these brackets are very convenient. And when you are looking for new brackets due to restauration, why not get the best ones out there. No, I am not getting any commission or discount for my comments. Just supporting a fellow Dutchman.
