it's late, i'm on-call and search function is not bringing up what i am after... can someone please tell me what ball joints are used for the raceleda sierra uprights?

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.

Cheers Gareth

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.

Mads - picture attached hopefully.

Looks like MNR supply the pins -
