Thread: Tubular front control arms

+100

May I ask what heim joint/ spherical are you using/going to use? size, material, brand?

I'm also wondering if you are planning to add a support between the two rear anchor points (refer to red line on picture)



You are doing a great job!

Diego

I am not sure if there is enough space there for another brace. There will be an extra plate on the bottom of the bars though. We are using a qa1 race heim joint lined with Kevlar.

Thanks for the quick response; I asked about the size and material because of the axial load they will manage... is that a 5/8 heim or bigger?

Big fan of your work

Diego

Me like! Shame I own a G20/P11...

Here are the specs. They are rated at 16,238 on the static load, take 15% of that and its 2435 each corner. That should be plenty as the car weights in at around 3000lbs total.

Damn OK! Everytime I turn around you are building something else I "want"... LOL!! I'm gonna get the front B13 sides braces and call it a wrap. Good job on theses though, they look great!

Thanks again Mark, waiting for the tests and final product

Got the new bar almost done. Just waiting on the delrin rear bushing and the new steel tapered sleeve and the proto will be on and testing. We changed the design a little but it should be lighter and stronger .

Test driven?

Parts should be arriving this week.
