Sharp as an Arrow As featured in July's issue of Racecar Engineering.
You don't find companies more thorough than Arrow Precision - the rod specialists from Leicestershire.
Arrow Precision was founded in 1974 by David Arnold and is today headed up by his son, Ian. With a rich history already behind it, the company has said that it's future lies firmly in the motorsport sector and, with it's turnover trebbling in the last six years, Ian enthuses that Arrow remains focussed on its core principals of quality, service and cost.
Arrow's entire production process is customer driven and clients are encouraged to come to the company with their projects and then to allow the team to take them all the way from design to production. The company's design team is happy to take a customer's existing rods or written spec and use the tensile and reciprocating load data to generate a design and produce a comprehensive drawing, material specification and a run-down of the dimensions of that particular connecting rod.
All of Arrow's materials are sourced from within the UK and the nickel and chrome alloy steel used is vacuum de-gassed to ensure minimal inclusions. Seven stock rod forgings are then produced from this and every facet of the forging is machined to remove potential stress raising edges. In turn, each rod is rumbled and peened to reduce potential weaknesses and to optimise hardness and finish.
Arrow's customers can rest assured that every single product to leave the factory has undergone magnaflux tests, a full sample inspection and a one hundred percent visual once over - just to make sure.
The company currently manufactures components for World Rally Championship, Le Mans, F3, Superbikes, Classic and Vintage, Touring Car, and various other sectors of the industry.
