Bosscat lower arm question

[Retro rc]

Anyone fitted bosscat lower front arms to a xls-procat if so what mods did you do? Planning my next project and what to do this as part of it

[Mja75]

Won't that make it very wide? Only thinking that because my Bosscat was originally a Bosscat Touring and to narrow the track it had procat lower front wishbones.

Yep if you use the standard procat mounting position it would be too wide that’s why I was asking if anyone had done a mod to the uprights to use bosscat arms. I sure I’ve seen one done on here somewhere

[Mja75]

Ah, right. Not seen that done before. What's the benefit? Just the longer arm?

[Retro rc]

I’m looking to run the bosscat top arms as they’re an easy swap out but if I do the pivot point of the top arm becomes longer that the lower arm which isn’t ideal

[Mja75]

Bosscat uprights? Scarce here in the UK but they might be able to be adapted?

Bit of dremel work to the rescue,

The upright on the left is the modded 1

The hinge pin hole is existing so that made things a bit easier.

Yep, basically convert front shock towers back to XL spec by removing web under crashback lug.

I bought an xl ishink since it has no front diff. But anyway it hade the bosscat front susp on when i bought it still have it somewhere i bought it for parts but it looks unused.

Nice is it hiding in box somewhere waiting to be rebuilt? Or will all ways be a parts plunder?
