GB: Tubular LCA's

[SgtRauksauff]

me and a couple friends were course marshals for LSPR back in '05 or something, and there was a big downpour, and a tree fell across the stage, and there were a bunch of cars backed up, so everything got delayed. In our course marshalling, we were sitting in the car out of the rain, and when anyone would ask us questions, we did that. "Right meow, the stage is closed. They somemeow have to extract some fallen meown trees. Meow'll let you know when they're ameowt ready to start back up again. Meow'll right?"

They'd say, "ok, thanks" and walk away, completely oblivious. It was so funny, we could hardly keep from busting out loud lauging. I think i managed to record some of it, at least the audio (it was dark) on my camcorder. I should dig that up, I'm sure my buddies would get a kick out of it, lol!

Hey Jim,

I see the pin, and that's where we're going to have to use bushings, and then the balljoint end... do rodends go in the remaining side? It's been awhile since i've been under the car, but i do remember that it's a pivot point obviously...

Rodends??? What rodends???

[concealer404]

Lol... i'm lost i think. For the life of me i can't remember what went in that one side.

The pin end is the back mount, the plate is balljoint.... how does the remaining end work?

[Georonimo]

That's the rod end with "custom" metric sleeve/spacers.

DUH!

Brain fart, disregard. I've got a lot on my plate right now. Literally have 3 cars i'm working on right now.

Jim, im getting ready to order rod ends for my sway bar mounts, what is the hole diameter for the endlink bracket? or do you have a part number for the rodend you had bolted to the bracket?

Dammit, i'm lost again...

I'd get a female 3/8" rod end and then switch out to a 3/8 grade 8 bolt. You'll use a small spacer off the tab to align everything---it'll take some experimenting/trips to the hardware store, but not rocket science stuff...

Depending on the style LCA's you ordered, you will need a rod end for the endlinks to attach to. You can see the rod end attached to the endlink bracket in this pic.

Is 3/8" both the female end and diameter of the hole that would be on the LCA?

*So I just looked at some rod ends. Which do you think would be better for the endlink, solid rod ends of the ones with the spherical bearing?

**nvm sphericals are cheaper lol. Now to just decide on race material and if I want a grease fitting or not.

[swalltr207jg]

I want a set! Winning!

[MATT91GT]

send Jim a PM. I think he has extra parts to make more than the Group Buy

[Georonimo]

I believe he has parts for 10 sets and only 9 are spoken for as per the list on the first post of this thread.

Oh i think this is what i ordered. I know this is what i got for the rears.

Jim, that's what you're building me, right? What's the specs on the rodends you used on the rest of my stuff? You know me, i'm OCD and want them all to match.

Matt, what site are you looking at?

[MATT91GT]

yea. everyone ordered the roadrace versions so they all have that style. im looking on mcmaster.com so far im torn between 3 different rod ends.

toss up between one with a bronze race, carbon fiber race with kevlar liner and one with no race but has a grease fitting.

i thought i read 13 sets, but yes there were only 9 sets that had deposits.
