I told you Ill be driving up in my DA this summer

 

Okay, Another update, after I posted I went out to the shop and looked through my steel stock and this is what I came up with.



Hopefully I can find something like this at a supplier becauce when using only a chop saw and a drill(drill press is broken currently) It takes a while to make an end. But I think they would work better then holes through a 1" bar.

 

.

 

Ya man.
I just came in from make 4 of the bolt rods for another bar. I have enough materials on hand to make 1 more.
I was going to use the stock radius arms but decided against it because I think 2 helm joint on one bar would give better articulation for streetablity. And make adjustment a little easier. Plus I don't really have access to a lathe so I wouldn't be able to turn down the length and threads.

And I would like one like your new design but I can't mill those end plates myself. I could go to school and do it, or a friend of our family own a machine shop, but this is easier.

BTW. I get my helm joint from Mcmaster-carr. Next Day shipping is nice!

 

What size heims you guys using? I'm using 1/2-20.

 

1/2"-20 is the size I'm using also.

Are you using teflon lined joints? I have chromed steel wilth oil impregnated housing but I'm thinking teflon might be the way to go.

 

Got any more pictures of the bar from different angles? What about ground clearance issues? I might be interested because my car hops like a bitch ['98 integra].

 

I am making a new design for more ground clearance. May work on it soon. I already cut some metal up to use. I am making a Jig so I can just fab them up on the bench.

I am also going toward the teflon lined.

 

Where idd you get the helm joints at and for how much? I need some for my new cross member

 

I got mine from Grainger but I think it was Whitey that came up with http://www.speedwaymotors.com/prod_l...eptSearch_id=2
