Driver's side early-offset aluminum control arm, rear wheel spacers, transmission drain plug.
Anyone have any leads? These are for the ChumpCar, so try to keep the prices reasonable.
I need to rebuild a control arm with Rennbay ball joints... I got one from ebay, but it had been modified from a previous rebuild - so I can't use it:

These came on the rear of early offset cars:

Van, 944online has the transmission plugs. I would just get new ones since used ones look like the crappy one in your picture with rusty leaky threads and chiseled edges.
Is this for the chump car? I personally prefer the steel arms for the track. They're stronger and you can change the ball joints (cheap) in 10 minutes. The only downside is you have to have them gusseted.

Cool - let me know.
You know, there's a magnet installed in the aluminum end cap of the transaxle. Of course it's not very easy to check/clean... ![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I actually have a set of steel arms (and will trade!) Here's a little bit of a story on the suspension for the ChumpCar... On my orange car ('86) I have the aluminum control arms with the long 19mm pins from Rennbay - and I'm very happy with that set up. So happy, in fact, I have a spare set of spindles that I machined to accept the 19mm pins.
I'm *not* happy with the spindles on the ChumpCar, however - the left one has the hole for the speedometer cable, and the right one was hit hard in an accident.
No worries, though - because I have this spare set! But I don't have arms to fit them... Or more specifically, I had a spare right side control arm - so I needed a left. I got a pair on ebay - and wouldn't you know, the right side is usable, but the left one isn't. So now I have two rights and no left.

Looks like you will be overflowing with control arms. I have a set on the 86 944T parts car, just went and checked and the ball is original and still tight...rubber looks 27 years old.
