Homemade A-Arms

[speedmaniac89]

Hi i live in the UK and over here quad parts are even more ridiculosly priced that with you lot, about $700-$800 for a set of wide A-arms for a YFZ.

So ive been thinking that there cant me that much to it, four bits of bent pipe hey :D

Do you know of any others that have made a-arms them selves?

I was planning on getting a friend who's workshop and skills are far beyond mine to make them, what diameter pipe is commonly used and what thickness?

Anywhere i could find plans or similar of arms?

The only suggestion I have is to copy another pair straight up, maybe a little mod or 2, but just find someone willing to let you borrow theirs for measurements.

That pricew sounds around the same as ours. WE also have arms that are about 1500. sru i cant help though

I have seen this on one of the UK sites and i think i am going to try and get another set of stock arms and extened them. This fella made a proper tidy job of it and if done properley im sure they will be atleast as strong as the stock arms.

There was a thread about this before. Yea just find somebody who will let you borrow their set to get measurements from. Once I move I'll take a stab at it, cuz I'll have a TIG welder on hand, and a lathe if there are any little things I wanna make for em.

I know a guy that made his own extended +3 arms for his banshee. They worked fine. I don't know the details about them though.

what u should do is cut your stock a-arms in half and add some steal tube pipe to extend the a-arms. that would b the easiest thing to do.
