As a follow up to my post a few weeks back re: having been sent pin drive control arms instead of the standard width ones.
I finally got to speak with Jeff at Whitby Motorcars, and he said Factory Five does not carry the standard width control arms for the older IRS system from the T-Bird. He did say he'd check to see what he could find. It's now been a few weeks, and I haven't heard anything. All the documentation, including order, and packing slips show standard width. I've already sandblasted, and painted the knuckles, had custom delrin bushings made, replaced the bearings, and hubs so I could have a 5x5 pattern. Does anyone have any ideas? Are the older IRS control arms available somewhere. I can't seem to get an solid response from Whitby. They also were suppose to ship 2 rear 750lb springs. One showed up as a 350lb. The response was to put it on the passenger side because my wife was probably lighter than me. A joke I suppose. That was over a year ago, and still no 750lb spring. Does anyone have better luck with other vendors. If so, who are they?
