Just need a little help ID'ing the make on these please:

These are light grey, with just the tiniest hint of purple. They seem too hard to be aluminum, too light for steel...titanium maybe? Sorry for the blurriness...my camera has an issue with depth-of-field...

And are these A&L? Very bright fluorescent yellow, look much nicer than the pic indicates...

Ahh, yes! I have a JRX-2 sitting right next to those caster blocks :oops:
No wonder they seemed familiar...

Thanks!

These look like Team Suzuki suspension arms. But they do not look like Yokomo YR4 parts.

Maybe for Tamiya Touring car? Anybody have any thoughts?

Those look like Top Racing arms for the Kyosho TF3; I have a set of those. I used the fronts on my CYANide onroad Optima build. Very nice arms.

Owner of shop gave this to me. Thought it was for a Tomy, doesn't seam like it. anyone have a better clue. The screw holes at the ends don't know any car with that bulkhead screw pattern. He doesn't know how long he has had it or where it came from.

TF-2 and TF-3 parts are compatible. Official Kyosho part numbers usually start with SP, SPW + some OT (some parts are only for the GP Spider though). Anything by other manufacturers for a Kyosho Spider or TF series may also work.

None online, I'll check if I already scanned in mine. Would an exploded view also work?
