          I'm a few weeks out on being able to spend the money but I'm definitely interested. What's the time frame on payment and delivery?

            i'll probably wait about 2 months before selling more. im gauging serious interest right now- which will give a better prediction of how many set's i'll have sitting around :/

                If you build them, they will come. These old dogs are just getting better with age! And everyone seems to have a little more money to play with these days. Plus two+ months is a long time :-)

                  Bumpage!

                  Gotta figure out if i'm going to need to find another option.


                  At which point do the bushings increase caster? If it's the back one, that would be AWESOME.

                    I had no intention of making rear only kits. Yes these are rear castor increase
                    I can't guarantee 100% fitment with my bushing & JIM's LCA's in terms of clearance & an increased angle degree of his front rod bearing(it makes me uncomfortable)

                      I'm not worried about gauranteed fitment, but if you're just going to be making full kits only, then it's a moot point anyways. Thanks for the reply though.

                        I'm not sure how offset his rear bushing is, but I just mocked up the cycle in the jig by moving the rear pin mount forward and backwards of center---1" in each direction (I can't imagine it being more offset than that) and didn't have any binding issues whatsoever. Ryan, any idea how offset the bushing is??

                        Ben I ordered a set of the sphericals to run in one of my own racecars (we're not allowed to run my tube arms in some of the classes...) and if your still concerned we'll mock it up on a car and check it out---but based on the angles I'm seeing it's not even remotely a problem. I don't want to clutter up his thread, but things have changed over the last 20 years or so. Most people run the rodend parallel to the ground with the bolt going vertical using the misalignment every time the car goes into bumb or rebound---I don't have a good pic stored in photobucket---just these offroad pics of spindles---they're made to use the misalignment everytime the steering wheel is turned left or right---they pull 30 degree angles under crazy loads---and sweep sometimes 60 degree's lock to lock--our little angle is nothing compared to what the rodend is designed for...


                        I misread his post---if Ryan's not selling the rears separate, then it is a moot point sorry...

                          Jim- thank you for looking into that! i had serious concerns, but im glad there is sufficient angle


                          I'll take it into consideration making extra rears. Its semi dependent upon how much interest i can get again. These were not easy pieces to sell despite the quality & purpose. Id rather not have a very expensive pile of LCA bearings sitting around & a hole in my pocket.

                            well how about if they fit for jim, then just a few made for those who want them? oh i guess that would have to be another group buy. hmm perhaps everyone who buys the LCAs would want a rear one.
