Anyone know if a different model or aftermarket steering arms fit capri struts into a mk1. I am looking for some more steering angle got any ideas.

Ackerman, also the arm length will affect the steering ratio.

Don't know of any but would also be interested.

I have a mate that has a lot steering and suspension parts forged I'll give an arm to see if anything goes close.

All articles I have read talk about modifying standard ones, Rally Design have "cranked & gusseted" new forgings but I am pretty sure they are just re-inforced standard dimension.

Would be very interested in what your friend has MK1 Lotus.

You will see Tarmac or Forest "cranked" arms this is to alter the bump steer depending if your ride height is raised or lowered. Cranked arms become shorter and this increases Ackerman angle.

Kieth at KCF Rally sport is machining Commendoor steering arms to the ends of small ford racks.

Max do you know if the commodore arms end up being shorter? otherwise sounds like ill give the cranked ones a go.
