GB: Tubular LCA's

[mazda1993]

I suposed i'm too late to get a set?!

[Georonimo]

awesome, i must have missed that post. Thanks man!

[Georonimo]

yeah, definitely missed those pics:

Hey Guys---got it in the car---pretty good fit for a prototype! I need to move the swaybar hole a 1/4" for a better angle, but it works pretty well now. The 1" tube has some interference on the subframe---minimal, but I'll move the tube back (by the pin) a 1/4" or so. Everything looks great/I'm excited---this is pretty cool stuff!!!

You could be the first due to time as well. I dont have much free currently. I thought about just giving them a few sprays of some primer and then a flat black, but that takes time and its rainy, plus paint wears off and i dont want to take them off to send them out later

hey Jim, is there any way you can just add the hardware needed for the swaybar links to mine and add it to the remaining balance?

Maybe---I'd have to mount another arm in a car to figure out the length's/ spacers. I've got an event this weekend myself-maybe the following weekend I'll see if I can get in and swap an arm---it's going to be two female 3/8" rod ends, 2 3/8" grade 8 bolts to replace the endlink bolts, two 3/8" bolts & nuts to bolt the rodend to the tab and then some spacers to space/align the rodend to the tab---the lengths is what I'm not confident about.

if you dont have time for that Jim, i can figure out what works during my Easter break and get a few sets together for people.

Thanks Matt---next week is getting crazy---I got in a Bonneville Salt Flats Land Speed car to build---a 200+mph Nissan 240sx---I'm looking at the rulebook right now scratching my head (looks like it was written in the 50's) trying to figure out how to build the cage to there specs and mine, safely---and then how to integrate the parachute mount into it!

[MATT91GT]

oh that sounds fun.

The rod ends im looking at for the endlinks are 1/2" thick so for extra clearances im looking at 1 1/2" long bolts to mount them to the bracket. Or do you think 1 1/4" would suffice? I guess there is nothing wrong with 1 1/2" there is nothing there to get in the way

oh, no worries if you don't have time- I can always figure that out when I put the suspension together.

if you guys can come up with a length before I get my arms I can raid the sway bar end link shelf at work and see if anything available at your neighborhood parts store will bolt up

i wish they had dimensions

Jim, how do the "up and down" mounts on your 4-point front brace work with these arms? They look like they're not connected in the pictures. I'm not 100% positive i can run this thing with the KLZE, but i'd like to if at all possible. Underside of this car is going to be all you.

Also in for a set of swaybar stuff if possible. I do have a set of Josh_LX delrin endlinks that i need to see if i can make them work. I may be able to just cut them. More concerned with the rodend hardware stuff, i'm a little overwhelmed again, got so much stuff to research! I can find bolts to work, already got bushings and washers and that stuff.

You guys should be able to get away with just getting a standard set of Addco endlinks, raiding the bushings and washers off of those, then using a high grade shorter bolt that fits in the rodends. Food for thought. (You wouldn't use all the bushings. Just two.)

[JPmotorsports]

Not sure what your asking, but the front control arm bolt goes through a cup in the 4 point brace to mount it---the rear into a subframe bolt. I don't know if it'll clear your motor swap---I can build your arms without the swaybar tab---just the hole if you want to run the delrin endlinks---the swaybar/endlink stuff does make things a bit more complicated...

I to have a set of Josh's delrin endlinks. Those bolts wont be reusable because they are much longer than we will need and they had a shoulder. I also have a new set of endlinks that came with my addco bar when I first got it. So I plan to use one new urethane bushing and one of the delrin bushings on each endlink. As it is, the rodends are about 10.50 before shipping
