Drop arm for Gemma steering box

Post by Jonathon Rushton »

Gents,

I am on the hunt for a drop arm to a Gemma steering box.

Any assists in this hunt would be greatly appreciated.

Couldn't you sleep or something this morning?!

Give Roger a ring at Harpers on 01923 260299 - unless you have already. In which case try Terry Foxen at Gee.

Cheers (see you soon?),

What length drop arm do you have, they come in 2 distinct lengths, the first ones were longer and fitted to Series 1s and other early cars , and can be recognised by a boss of metal fairly close to the end before the tapered hole. The big advantage of these arms are that they quicken up the steering a lot.
The later drop arms, or "standard" items do not have this boss of metal , are shorter and therefore less quick on the steering.
I would strobgly recommend going for the former for a +4 , if they are still available.
