360/430 A arm bushes

not going to happen if I am ordering it.
But what you said has a lot of truth if they know you are not local.

You would never bother getting these made in China as their moq would be way too high.

This is not a complicated part to make at all.

 

Stay tuned. I’m having them quoted. Both delrin and poly. Can anyone who’s interested DM me so I can get accurate pricing and part numbers.

if price is right, i'll buy all bushings for the car x 4.
i've heard poly will be having a squeezing sound?

 

Those who are looking to go delrin...just purchase the oem. The price is not that bad.....certainly not 200-250.

update...mine just came in.

How much? Do you know if 360/cs/F430/scud use same bushings?

Flea - Where did you purchase these ones from? You are not wrong, the pricing isn't so bad at ~$70ea.

 

Has anyone considered mixing the materials in the various locations in the car?

As mentioned, the roads in Sydney are worse than Africa so Iam hesitant in doing Delrin (Acetal) as i think I could end up damaging other components, and hurting my back and angering my wife.

So I thought perhaps to use Delrin in the rear to help with overall plantedness and then use poly or a hard rubber in the front. Any thoughts from the experts on this route?

 

I was thinking something similar yesterday but Derlin in the bottom arms because of the shock absorber location, and rubber in the top. I wouldn't mix front and rear.

 

BTW Thanks Seong for the heads up. I too have a set of the OEM Challenge flamblocs inbound. I'm still not sure about the suitability for road use but the discounted pricing made them viable as a trial fit.

 

Have a look at the Superperformance offering for the scud and 16m, seems the rubber is bonded to the pin. Might be better than oem

 

I purchased them from Pacific Motors $50 per for the bottoms and $45 for the uppers.
They have an ebay page with "make offer" and they accepted those prices with free shipping.

Ready Set GO!!!

What car are these for? Can someone confirm they fit the scud?

confirmed.
i have them

 

I think MWSTEWART can confirm, but there are three types of factory flamblocs: stock F430, 430 Scuderia, 430 Challenge. All are interchangeable, and fit both 360s and 430s.

 

That's correct.

 

I was under the impression that the OEM ones were for scud , 599 and 612 .. different part for 360 and 430 ..maybe interchangeable but different materials?

There have been many revisions over the years hence different part numbers, but the 360 and F430 units are interchangeable. The three basic types are as per f355spider's post above.

The 360/F430 base have more rubber
The CS/Scuderia have less rubber
The Challenge are Derlin and hardest.

 

Thanks for clearing that up . I read so many posts sometimes I forget what others say even in same posts

at $50-70 a pop oem, it may not be worth it to make custom ones, unless theres a high demand for delrin...

 

Yeah pacific has sold out though so I think it’s back to dealers/resellers at double that.

 

Yeah I just checked eBay in the links and it's back up to about $149. Awesome thread though. Thanks for the info and effort. I will be in line for stock/softest.

 

update on these...

I received some that did not have bearings. These, I'm guessing, were the first before the superseded number part with the bearings. The part # with the bearings is #329184 for the bottom. .....#256105 for the top

That’s interesting isn’t it. I know from my mechanic who used to run challenge cars that the flamblocs were always wearing out quickly and were a troublesome component. I guess Ferrari figured that sticking in a roller bearing may help with premature wear and noise.
