...front radius arms for RRC that are 'cranked' to get chassis bushing back in some sort of proper alignment?
I can find loads of cranked rears, and castor corrected fronts...but no castor corrected & cranked fronts? I need the early narrow type as well, just to make things more of a pain.

I thought about bending the standard ones, but that throws castor even further out. I guess if too much time is spent modifying standard ones I may as well start from scratch like you did..
I haven't phoned around any of the suppliers yet, but have searched around on the web for a bit with no joy.
If I'm going to break out the welder then maybe cutting and welding the mount on the chassis is the easiest option?

could you make a triangular wedge so that the bush bolted on at a different angle? Keeps the car stock then if you ever want to take it off.

I think your thinking of the rear 3 bolt bushes? the fronts are just a hole in the chassis mount and a lump of rubber either side, so wouldn't work.
Its for the buggy, so not worried about keeping it stock
I only noticed the angle they sit at because I swapped in a new font axle, and now my mind is racing with all sorts of wild ideas for modified suspension to solve this 'problem' that I never realised I had!
All input/ideas are greatly appreciated!
