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...

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 *****!!!!!! 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.

 

hahah i didnt think u could get "shim stock" hahah that is more HMT than my idea. rofl

 

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.

 

I was gona do that, but its not flat on the bottom of the lca, and i thought I wouldnt get it perfect and then I would have a bunch of slop and fucked up lca's...

 

hey csaddict still have the picture from your hm-traction bars? i was looking at it the other days and all the pics were dead

 

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