I have three sets of the parts. They're pretty nice parts but have a few caveats. The rear arms and mounts need a little finessing to get them working smoothly. The front steering linkage are metric so the screws really don’t work with the chassis. I had issues fitting an outer bearing in the 6 gear transmission case. I had to mill a few thousands off the get the bearing to fit. Having said that, I wouldn’t hesitate buying another set.

I love the sandrail!
it kills me to think they never get run, but the thought of scratching those metal parts is painful.
Shodog, thank you for the feedback on,the parts. I see you are a machinist, as well?
I recently ordered the steering bellcranks in silver to upgrade from the original plastic and have been very happy. Main downside is that they ship from China so it took a little under two weeks to arrive. Very happy with the quality and steering now feels much more responsive. They look really nice - puts the rest of the car to shame.
