1/2in heim, 12mm bolt, home made traction bar... how to get rid of play?
 

How can i get rid of the play between the 1/2in heim and the M12 bolt on the LCA?? (90 EF)

clunk clunk every time i speed up or slow down... :3

i suppose i could drill out the LCA and use 1/2in hardware... i could also build some weld up on the M12 and grind it down (so HMT)

how do other traction bars deal with this?

any good HMT ideas?

using an m12 heim isn't an option?

I went to the ma and pop hardware store, and bought 6" of .005 shim stock and cut it into strips about .45" X 6" and taped it to the bolt and wraped it around untill it was as close to .50" as i could get. I slid it in and bolted it on and called it a day. HMT NIGGA!!!!!! lol

i couldnt find any except imperial, 1/2in, 5/8th, 3/4, etc...

would suck to remake the radius rods, but not out of the question.

weir, its way cheaper to use 1/2" than m12. and you can get the 1/2" swedged tubes for cheaper than the tube stock to build the tubes.

Drill it through and use a 1/2 bolt.

drill and tap to 1/2" or step up to 5/*" heim and have bushings machined.
