    Default length of SW20 front suspension control arm?

    hi folks,

    anyone got SW20 front suspension parts loose or easily accessible? could you measure the length from the centre of the inner bush to the centre of the ball joint?

    i have a dumb-arsed theory about re-using these for 'other purposes' and the length is one of the many possible show-stoppers.

    many thanks in advance,
    Charles.

    am after the distance from bottom-centre of the ball-joint to centre of the inner bush.

    Basically the working length of the control arm.

    edit: In the drawing in your thread <http://www.toymods.net/forums/showthread.php?t=11307> it's the 'lower arm' that i'm curious about.
