Lee,
I've never any issues with the billet uprightsbeing accepted by any USA
organizer in the 20 years I've raced my Bobsy-Porsche.
If it was problematic, I would have them shot peened to look like castings.

Don-
Thanks for the info.
Have you ever had issues with a vintage racing organization OK'ing the
use of your CNC'd uprights? I read that in Europe (UK?) they are very
strict on substitution of materials and processes on vintage race
cars. I think some USA vintage race sanctioning groups are less
strict, but not sure which are which. I've even seen some pretty
obvious examples of "out-of-period" substitutions (aluminum block
engines where not available in period is a prime example). What are
your (or any other Bobsy Talk members) experiences & comments?
Best regards,
Lee Johnson

Your recollection is correct. I did have my Rear uprights digitized and
CNC'd from a 6061 billet. Photos attached of my original magnesium ones,
with the broken radius rod ear, and my CNC billet ones.
The problem is twofold:
My rear uprights are the early SR 2 ones, with the narrow top for the
camber link, and
I recently referred one of our members to Edge Engineering, who made my
uprights, and he said he no longer has the program.is
So, unfortunately, that will not likely help.

Don— I recall (accurately, I hope) that you mentioned having had someone
develop a (functional) rear upright replacement machined from billet
material. Is my recollection sound & is it still possible to get those
made?
I don’t have an immediate need but would like to know if a replacement

The late SR3, SR 4, SR 5, SR 6, and SR 7 rear uprights are all the
