I like your thinking. If all our cars SR3’s through the 6’s utilize the same
uprite we could commission someone ( like Bob Hancock whom I spoke with) to
build us sets perhaps the cost would be reduced enough to make it feasible.
I would be in for for 2 pair if anyone else wants to throw in, post it up in
this email chain and I will have a conversation with Bob

Don, 2 pair? That comes to $1500 each. Not all that out of sight. If
there are 5 of us who would combine order it might become affordable.
Something to think about. I had mine welded but next season will tell if
they hold up.
All the Best,

Tom,
Yes it was expensive, $6,000 to digitize and make 2 pairs.
But, it was my only option, if I wanted to get the car back together, using
the existing suspension parts.
There are numerous generic Formula and Sports Racer uprights available if
you're not staying original.

Those are beautiful bits. I talked with a local machinist who informed me to
digitize my uprites and carve them out of billet would be major dollars!
On the order of several thousand of them. He suggested fabricating the
uprites
using 6061 T6 plate 3/8” thick and thick tube stock for hub area. Weld up
in a jig then have the assembly cryo treated to reharden it back to T6. I’m
a pretty good tig welder but I thought if I could find a used piece I’d be
way ahead in the end.
Thanks for all the input gents! Glad to live in the states and don’t have
to deal with the FIA process.
