Re:HMT cross member need some info...
If you to the real interest in traction bars post you will see the one I'm making and selling.
Mine are 1" Mild Steel w/1/8" wall or 2x1. It's only 1.15 CAN a foot or 2.25CAN, were as SS is about $10-11/ft USD. Stainless is cool to if you have the equipment to weld it. Helm joints. I use 1/2-20, as do most guys. I see no need for metric, but if you want to spend 3 more dollars, sure. My bars take appx. 6ft of material. But again it depends on what style you are making. |
Re:HMT cross member need some info...
Yeah 1/2-20 is best. That way you can find LH and RH thread stuff at the local hardware store.

http://www2.freepichosting.com/Images/421591352/1.jpg Here are the 88-91 Designs I'm working with. The 2x1 bar is the one I made for myself. I had 1x1 left over so weirracing used 1x1 and it worked for him. I will be using 4 helm joints(2lh, 2rh for ease of adjustment.) Any intrests? I have been tossing the idea of a full race design like CSaddicts but I had these materials because the accidentally came with a shipment at work. Also looking into going into the bolthole design like jimfab's but I have to look for materials for those. P.S. They will have d-series front motor mounts(when my motor goes back in to do measurements). A b-series could be made available soon(When my friends CRX-b16 is ready).

But I think they would work better then holes through a 1" bar. |
Re:HMT cross member need some info...
those bolt hole sleevs look pimp. im gonna look around for something like that?

Re:HMT cross member need some info...
I made them. It's from a 1 1/8" Solid stock, Cut them 1 1/4" Long and the drilled a 1/2 hole through it. If I start making these bars more I will just machine them out a bunch at a time. Will take no time to drill and cut them on a lathe.
