anyone know where I can get radius correction bars for a 1991 disco with an intended 3" lift?

QT Services (http://www.qtservices.co.uk/) (click on "New Products") or Scorpion (http://www.scorpionracing.co.uk/) make them.

QT's are £180 +vat & carrage
Scorpion's were £146 but I can't remember if that was plus vat or not, I'll check.  :wink:

Thanks for that Budgie ... but neither of them do one for a 3" lift.

I've got a 3" lift and a set of the Scorpion radius arms fitted and you really notice the change once they're fitted.

The 3 degree arms will do you for a 3" lift, give them a ring then they'll be able to advise you if you're not sure. These will change the angle of the axle quite a bit. You'll find out just how much when you try to get the holes to line up!!  :wink:

He alters the angles on the OE radius arms to bring the caster angles back in.  :wink:
My only worry with doing this is, will bending the OE radius arms shorten them at all, pulling the axle backwards?  :?
