There's a few concurrent threads on Rear Upper Arms - I thought it'd be prudent to update you all with progress on a 'final replacement' we're having worked on at the moment.

We are having an arm made up for us by the original SAIC MG supplier - the only issue as I've mentioned before has been tooling cost, as the original tooling is no longer available.
With the help of this supplier our own tooling is now being created - this will take a couple of months, but means the arms produced will be exclusive to us.

A couple of modifications will be made to the design thanks to input from the forum experts (beers incoming for everyone who has helped us with this) - namely a full inside-and-out coating, and larger drain holes (in the correct place) to help avoid clogging with mud and grime.

We'll keep you all posted with progress, but if you're waiting for a top-notch replacement at a very competitive price (nothing firm yet, but it'll certainly be less than they cost currently) then I'd hang on to November / December when we expect these to be ready.

We'll open up pre-orders once we've had them test fitted to a car and confirmed we're 100% happy with them, which I would expect to be September / October.
