Mythbuster: continuing project thread of my 1303 '75

I like the look of those. Is that something still available? Are they super (no pun intended) expensive? Oh I saw the link. I will go look.

There is no doubt the original forged arms are plenty strong, but the stamped welded later arms are a weak point. You can stand on them and make them flex. Doesn't mean I won't get them sandblasted, prime then paint with black epoxy paint and use them...I'm just sayin.

Well, what can I say...I went to the german new years meet in Herford and the builder of those arms had 1 set reserved for someone that didn't wanted them after all. Soooo happy with them! Yes they are super expensive. They are also a a tiny bit longer then stock and are still 20% lighter then stock and a fair bit stronger: the material used is some sort of 7075 with a 10.9 comparable strongness. Its difficult to drill he said LOL!
