No

Ordered

lathe

adjust lenths based on a tube length

 

outer profile first, then weld into tube, then centedrill, drill, and tap.

idk

Suspension

Pushrods

2 (not including backups if desired)

If you want but super critcical lol

.5in OD 6061 AL; probably in cabinet, 12in

lathe:

drop saw if too long, part to designed length, drill to helicoil sized holes, can go as deep as you want, tap LH, RH), lastly helicoil

need long caliper for measuring length (or do the daybreak cursed method - using 2 live centers); length doesn’t have to have super tight tolerance b/c adjustability from rod ends

 

1 hour (if you know what you are doing ig lol)

Suspension

bellcrank plates

4

if you want

water jetted from SCS

manual mill; drill/ream to desired hole sizes (if yall choose slip fit or press fit for bushing hole – see sus thread for pros and cons of both)

NOTE: shock bolt hole is metric; other 2 are imperial/freedom units; careful of making sure plates are clamped well (don’t want vibration); deburr holes; and might need soft jaws if holes are over parallels

1 hour

Suspension

bell crank spacers

6

if you want (update them b/c bushing changed after Oliver made them i believe*****)

round bar 6061 AL (prob in cabinet)

lathe: drill, ream (if you want), face down to size, part (tolerance matters for these a good amt)

5 total spacers per side (10 total on car)

  • 2 frame tab bushing spacer

  • 4 shock bolt spacers

  • 4 pushrod spacers

  • double check in CAD lowkey b/c this is just from my memory lol

1 hr, ez lathe stuff
