870c white wishbones and rear uprights

[dinglem]

Picked these up today, amongst a few other goodies.

Does anybody know what the rear uprights might be (make?) I was told they may have been sourced from Jason Varley at CML.

[DennisM]

Rear hubs/uprights are LA-28 Kyosho Lazer ZX

[dinglem]

Yes, those black ones also snuck into the picture.... sorry! It is the white ones I am curious about.

Have never seen the white front spindles. They are very likely yokomo like the white arms. Cold weather parts from what I have seen.

[dinglem]

I was told the white spindles came with metal threaded inserts to be used at the front (steering) and were in fact mounted by the owner as rear uprights, which you can see from the use marks.

I was told they were provided by Jason Varley. I hunted down some pics of his old race cars and found a very poor shot from the 1989 Reedy International, where I believe he came second, and found this pic which tenuously hints at least, at the same parts being run.

A few people have suggested they might be SRM items, but so far nothing conclusive. Pretty cool anyway, and rare, and should look great along with the white arms

[Jirka]

The SRM rear uprights/steering blocks looks really close, but those SRM parts seems to have metallic nut included:

Then a few more pic & link to YZ10 with similar white arms except that Walker4011's/MaruiHunter's YZ10 seems to have long versions from those front arms:

Think you have found what I was looking for Jirka! Thank you.

The SRM ones pictured are the fronts as they don't have the pivot point section on the lower part like mine do, but then the SRM advert also states they did a rear version too. I guess that is what I have here.

Excellent - thank you. Can't be many of these about I wouldn't imagine

[Mr. ED]

How many shock mount holes are in those arms? The front ones only have 2, rear ones 3.
(Except if rear ones were used up front as part of the "wide conversion")

[dinglem]

[Mr. ED]

Fronts: the third hole is clearly added by hand
