    New Group 4 rear Uprights

    Consider the tooling costs, before you say "HOW MUCH?!"

    Fully understand the costs. Selling half a dozen a year isn't going to make him rich.

    If some members will be interested Marvic is ok to do avery small batch ( mini 2 or 3 pairs) for something like 1000euros each (plus Vat)

    Only issue I see is sourcing shock absorbers to match and adapt the top of each brand of chassis ( Allora , Hawk etc !!)

    At the moment no ; as am trying to source eventual drawings or part to be borrow and then redraw all stuff in 3D

    Otherwise there is a company there selling Titanium who did a set of titanium hubs and cv joint splined carrier and the set was more close to 11 000 /12000 euros !!!!!!!! Crazy !
    I asked ( as I know their boss ) if it was possible to get drawings !!!! am still waiting the reply
    Years ago I did apost on this subject :there was this link

    http://www.titane-services.eu/epages...lancia-stratos

    There is one important point to know about Marvic refabrication parts ; they are strictly machined as they where on 70's including the very special steel insert that hold the bearing ( hard to find!).
    They deliver with the upright if I remind the special big round screw that pusches onto this bearing ( so alot of tricky machining !!)

    Watching at the titaium parts to my modest opinion one steel hubb would cost not below 750/800 euros and quite same for the splined shaft supporting the CV joint
    Again this is due to low batches possible for sure and splines to achieve ( now machine shops are very few specialised on such machining!)

    For a Hawk owner and to have the geometry correct, it means heavily modified top mounts and the lower inner wishbone mounts moving in by 50mm each side which involves a fair amount of re -fabrication of the lower cradle.

    Yes !!!
    And quite same issues with LB kits

    This is why I doubt some one could be interested on those !!!
    I think this is only interesting if some one wanted to replicate in every details the rear tranny ; this will need to think and ingineer before to do the rear tubes !!!!
    So very very very rare person I guess !!!

    Otherwise we know now that the parts are avaible and where ........

    Dreaming more ...one day or another someone would redo ( what have been done before !!) "real deal" chassis !!!
    But we are no more on the REPLICA world !!!!!
