Different ph1 172 ARB?!

[DannyR]

Under the car this weekend an only photo I have but all my other Ph1's have had 4 clamp style bushes, on my current one it has the two clamps in the middle but the end ones on the wishbone go through the ARB?!

 

[Fred@BTM]

erm that's a non sort fitting by the look of it

 

[DannyR]

Thats what I thought :S

Could you check the plate N11 BUB for me please

Done a check on AskMID and comes up as a Renault Sport.

It was a Cat D, but maybe the subframe was changed too. Are wishbones shorter? Bit concerned as to what else coudl now be different!

 

[Fred@BTM]

get some better pics for me, i think they've bolted on a non sport complete subframe

does it thin out at the ends??

 

[DannyR]

The ARB? The ends are flat with a hole in for the bushes. Differences in Subfram from Sport and Non sport??

 

[Fred@BTM]

subframe is the same dimensions, its missing the hole for the front lower box mount (unless they added it)

that's 100% a non sport setup

 

[DannyR]

If thats all there is different I'm not worried. But that ARB end fixing really isn't man enough!

As long as hubs etc are all Sport ones I can't see a problem TBH

 

[Fred@BTM]

the dynacup runs full 1.2 setup, its fine but eats ARB outer bushes

Ive got a non sport sub frame with sport arb's, can get a pic if it helps, , mines a mk2 with mk1 arb

I've got another Ph1 its just not here at the moment to compare to, but thanks anyway!

Fred - I know what you mean it ripped the end clean off of my OS one, so its been nut, bolted and big washers now to keep the b*****d in place!
