Dimensions ARB's

Post by Ettore Bugatti » Mon Jun 04, 2007 10:17 am

Could someone measure the dimensions of the ARB's?
It is for my analysis of the 480 suspension (and designing of a sports suspension)
I already have looked at pictures, but they aren't accurate enough.
Im looking for diameter, width wall thickness and arm length.
Im guessing that the front arb is around 20mm in diameter and the rear one is around 15mm.

I'd imagine you're going to have to tell people what ARB stands for first...
