Exclamation Anyone need their FC rear control arms welded ?

Hey everyone,
I don't really post much on the RX7 club, as I have a v8 fc. But since I got my FD I have been on the club more often. My friend Robert (Fc3s91) has convinced me to stick with the rotary.

But anyway that"s really isn't important.

Robert recently had his arms stitch welded, and I took a look at them while I was installing his spherical bushings. I can stitch weld your arms if anyone is interested.

The advantages are that they stiffen the arms up and keep them from flexing under hard cornering.

If anyone is interested in getting your arms or subframe stitch welded, please send me a PM on pricing so that we can work something out. Or you can contact me on my cell at (818)620-5923.

Thanks,

Anthony

Here are some things that I welded for Ryan (not sure of his username on here)

-10an bung to an oil pan



I also welded some stainless rod to help support his turbo.








Here is an aluminum tank I built.

It reduces the flex in the rear suspension. How much of a difference does it make, I am not really sure. There are quite a few people on here that have had it done. They can give you a better answer.

Thanks,
I actually prefer to weld aluminum. If anyone needs pretty much anything welded, not just stitch welding. Let me know, just bring me the part or ship it to me.
