Love these control arms

Early offset PowerHaus/Charlie arms with 17mm pins. Unfortunately I have a late offset car and these won't work For now they are living in the house

They are a thing of beauty, shame Charlie isn't making these anymore.

Someone should buy these and find a machine shop that can reproduce them. Sure you could sell ten sets off the bat.

Would that be stealing Charlie's intellectual property?

Well as a courtesy you could ask him, last I heard he was not interested in making anymore, so maybe he wouldn't mind someone else supplying the community.

There's no patent on that design though, so he cannot be too bothered about people blatently copying it.

I know - I should find a pearlie and build it into a killer car that I keep forever....well - you know how that goes Imagine a 3L pearl car with 968 mirrors and handles and 17" fuchs and the TRS wing and a pearl redline rollbar and lots of shiny stuff under the hood... and burgundy pole positions with pearl backs. Need to buy a mega millions ticket!!!

How is that Cayman doing?

If that's true they may even sell you the blueprints for them you could take right to a machine shop. I suspect that the only reason they aren't interested in making them anymore is that there is no money in it for them, nor would there be for anyone else producing them. But they are sweet, I had fabcar ones that weren't nearly as pretty

He absolutely will not sell anything to the public, but you can give him a call and try yourself, good luck.
