You can buy those links from UK eBay for less. I bought stainless steel ones from RS components and put them together myself. £10
I had to thread these because S8 arms are much shorter http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showpost....5&postcount=12 Last edited by Goran; 27th October 2014 at 05:46 PM.

Bloody hell, that is a difference between Gruvenparts and RS, and the shipping time as well.
Post a link if you can Borys of the 2inch ones you will get from RS for future references inc part number or product code. That is really cheap. I've had gruvenparts ones fitted, but I got them off Neil who had a set laying around so shipping was 1st class

Sh*t, sorry mate, but the gruvenparts are really good, I've got them and install was very easy as you can imagine. How about asking Goran for some help, he done it so it would be easier for him as he knows what to do

I'm very happy to help and even make them for you if you can send me the parts.
Was it tapping the thread that didn't work? Was it for a S8 (you wouldn't need to shorten them much for a A8 you could probably use the existing thread). The other thing that would be great is if we have someone on here who works in some king of casting industry. I have 1 spare plastic arm we just need lots of castings of it in aluminium or brass or some kind of automotive nylon plastic.

Hi Goran,
Yes tapping was a nightmare. My tools suck  I've got an a8 and links are 1" - so needed to cut RS bits, there was not much room for tread, Literally I had maybe two lines left. Wanted to extend a bit further and disaster strike :-)
