Thread: Superior Engineering Superflex arms for Rovers.

Are these arms DOT engineerable? Yeah I know! never bothered me before.

Over the next couple of days, whenever I get a chance, I'll look into your question about making different brackets to use the Nissan superflex arm in a Landie. I suspect the problem for a simple bolt on mod vs new welded brackets will be the location of the stock bolt for the rear mount on the landie front axle.

Had a quick look and it might be worth going to more trouble to confirm. Will need more time to get around to this.

I think they have the usual disclaimer

This pic shows a superflex RA for a patrol against a stock 110 RA, the bolt passing through the mounting bushes to align the 2 RA's.


This pic shows the difference at the chassis end of the RA's. Because patrol bushes at the axle end are spaced further apart, that accounts for the difference in length seen in this pic.


This pic shows the 110 RA on top of the superflex RA.


The next pics show the superflex RA in place on a 110 front axle, positioned so the chassis end is where it would need to be in the vehicle.



So it would be possible to make adaptor plates to use the patrol superflex arm in a rover, but I would prefer an arm made so the top bush uses the stock rear bolt hole. This bush would need to be similar diameter to stock rover. The lower bush could be the later style patrol bush as they provide more flex.

I haven't been up to Superior yet. Yer, yer, only 15 mins away! But it is finding the hour to get there, drool and get back.
Later next week, I'll be on holidays then.

Hi guys,
I am the guy who design and developed the superflex arms, I have been working on the designs for rovers as well during the last 6 months. Guys that know me, know how fussy I am about getting it spot on before releasing them for sale. I bought a disco a few months back purely for testing and development work for all the possible upgrades. If you guys have a wish list of stuff please let me know and I can get to work designing it!

cheers
Greg

G'day Greg. Thanks for the intro.
I don't have much to add, I've never fitted extra flex suspension. I do have a D2 and I am just down the higway if you need some measurements etc.
Can you let us in on any other parts for the Rover line of products?
Cheers, B Dave.

Hi Greg,

what are the arms made from?
how is the pin end done? (tapped, welded or machined one piece?)

all Superior arms are 32mm gr350, The pins are 4140 and are welded full penetration then CNC machined back to stress relieve the joint. Sure it is a massive overkill but thier quality is second to none. Every hole and boss is CNC'd even the logo on the side.
