#1 Radius arm mounts

Post by Fspp369 » Sat Jan 22, 2022 3:13 pm

I have to replace the RAM ‘s one is corroded the other is badly welded on, and the surface that it sits on is being replaced anyway.
I went to a local well know supplier near to home, only to find that the items on stock were quite poor in geometry, out of four mounts shown to me one had the threaded portion welded in at a strange angle, one had two different radii on the arm mounting surface, on the two others the welding was ,well errr less than optimal!! And all this for £50 plus each.
Does anyone know of a supplier of these bits that doesn’t buy them from a central source?

Christopher
had a long chat to Andy at Hutsons, very productive, interesting and honest opinions I felt.
Job done, after sending some pics of there product and measurements.
I had been thinking of giving them a call for some time, this was a good reason not to wait.
Thanks.
