If they're the same as mine it's pins into the upright and then rosejoints onto the pins from the wishbones.

Can I ask were you got the pins from? I got some with my kit from MNR but I am after sourcing them for another project on a tight budget.

Hi Gareth
Got mine with the uprights.
I don't think they're that expensive to buy

Rob, have you got any pics? and it might sound dumb but what do you mean by pins (not come across that term/part before) ?

the raceleda uprights come with a large hole in them, into this you can either put a tapered insert to use normal balljoints, or the aforementioned
pins which basically bolt into the hole and have a protrusion over which to put a rosejoint.
