Default New product: tie down ring control arm

We have a nifty new product available. We added a tie down ring to the aft end of our control arms. The ring makes it a bit easier to run a rope or chain through the hole compared to wrapping it through the chains and around the tail spring.

Only $25. They also have a deeper locking notch than the standard Van's control arms. Made of tough 4130 steel.

Vince, check your cart function. The rocket link type when added to the cart....shows up as a standard arm.

Bill,

Thanks for the heads up. Blake says he fixed it.

What a great idea Vince. Our ropes get all nasty from the smoke oil mess around the springs and pole. This will eliminate most of that. Plus I can see an easy mount location for the Go Pros. Order on its way.
