  • 6 degee beams and options on rose joints.

    I need 2 beams for customers 3drs. I have looked around as many people make these and different versions are on offer.

    so question is what type do you have? what joints are used as in size and quality.

    on my own car I have a gse beam which was further modified as it only had outer adjusters to start with as per the gpra car it was off. now its fitted with inners too which are larger style joints.

    who has plated versions with supports etc. I was told the ahmed beam uses smaller joints as pictured. are these adequate?

    lastly prices and how much you paid. pm if you prefer.

    Also use motorcycle type rear chain ajuster on inner for ease of ajustment for toe etc

        Where can you get the rubber boots that go over these joints? i have bought some for the compression struts and adjustable TCA,s but need bigger ones for the rear beam.

              Don't use the cheap joint whatever you do, they last no time, pay the extra and get proper joints is my advice Jano.
              We use them in our beams. Makes it more expensive but not worth messing with cheapo joints

                    I always get my metal spherical bearings from McGill well priced with a great customer service.
                    Be sure to buy the XM Racing Series Bearings versions.

                      I dont ever use cheap rose joints in anything. even my new s1 tie bars use very expensive rose joints hence the price of them. 120quid is just the joints.

                      who is the best for prices and joints used then people.

                        Picked my beam up on Friday from MK, I'm well impressed with the workmanship, just stripped it for powdercoating.
                        Then I need to get it fitted ,set up then tested as my first race is a week on Saturday

                        Huge thanks to Mark for turning it round so quickly for me
