I had Willcox do them but I can drive there! 
(I'm a huge Willcox fan, great people to work with
). They did them on the car. If you post where you live maybe you have a local shop that can do it. If I remember right it was round 300.00 a side parts and labor to do them. This might give you a good idea how much if you take it to some one. You might call willcox, I know they have them shipped in and can do them.

I replaced one of my TA on my 75 this month. I sent it to VANSTEEL in Clearwater, FL.
I got back a terrific looking TA assembly. The arms were powdercoated, all new materias used, and a matching rotor with it.
Check out their website. They have a price guide, and illustrations on what they offer.

I've started to load sale pricing for a huge sale we are having. T-Arms that are normally $389 per side will go to $292 with a $300 core charge. We also changed the warranty on our bearing assemblies to a lifetime warranty.
Lot's of parts will be 15-30% off.

It will depends on what type of wheels and rims you decide to go with on weather or not you will need anything else. ie a shorten spring. Other than that you will need to transfer over is your spindle flange from your old assembly to the new and it's a bolt-on deal. I would recommend a t-arm bolt & SS shim kit if yours are not in good shape. Give us a call with your plans and we will get you going in the right direction.

Dan at Van Steel is the man. Excellent customer service and stands behind their work. I had a problem with a composite spring that cracked and he replaced it no questions asked. I have a pair of offset T-arms and they have been great. When I replaced my calipers (Of course Van Steel SS calipers) I noticed that one of my rear caliper brackets was loose. Upon further investigation it was found that the studs that hold the bearing assembly on the t-arm were actually bolts that apparently were used in the buildup of the T-arms. I called Dan and told him the problem (after almost a year in the car). He immediately sent me all the studs and nuts to fix the problem FREE OF CHARGE! I was a little upset but with customer service that Van Steel provides they quickly remedied the problem again with no questions asked. Highly recommended.

Sale - how long?
Van Steel --
How long will your sale last? I want to have my T/As rebuilt/exchanged this winter, but Xmas presents for the kids (AND WIFE
) will have to come first...
