Default Broken Upper A-arm Bracket.

I have just Broken my Upper A-arm Mounting Bracket. I believe that there is a TSB for this. Does anyone know where I can find it? I looked in the S2ki TSB list, but found nothing. Any help on this matter would be appreciated.

There isn't a TSB; there was a letter composed by Honda in order to allow these to be fixed by seam welding the bracket and still permit the repair in stock class SCCA autocross.

The fix is take it to a shop and have it welded. Nothing more.

You wouldn't happen to know where I could find that letter? I just want to be able to have some proof that the repair is accepted by Honda, in case someone protests my repair.

Thanks for the help.

The only copy of it I ever saw online is long gone. Don't know where you'll be able to find one, sorry.

But you didn't search on "A arm bracket" did you?

I have a scan of the actual Honda article at home. Give me your e-mail and I'll send a copy.

I think the theory is repeated hard braking from years of auto-x/track.
