[Tomisimo]

I know Messy, but those you talking about are out of reach now.. I work on some ideas so, sometime soon I'll give it a shot

Custom Strut Braces for the Rear

[Tomisimo]

Ok guys, a little feed back.
I ordered material, so I'll start make those next week, so feel free to join.

I run this one time only for now, as the work shop I'm working in I will be for next 3 weeks.. So gather up.
Im redesigning those braces so you dont have to cut in to trunk upholstery, they will be a bit higher that is now.

Nice work! It's fun to make stuff when you have the proper tools.

[lostforawhile]

how much for the laser cut or plasma cut half round pieces? i might make something custom. but i need the pieces that go on the struts. also will they fit the front mounting holes ?

[GTRSkyline43]

if the front are being in the making would it be sold as a set?

[ghettogeddy]

in in for a rear set and def a front set when you get those going

[ghettogeddy]

Yes I can ship one set with just foot plates, can you drill holes yourself?
Those are plasma cut so they might seem a bit different, but all goes in 0.4mm tolerance.

to ghettogeddy: Thanks it was a good Idea

[Tomisimo]

Yes thegreatdane If only I had that shop for my self,, Man do I build some crazy stuff.. have so much ideas...


to Skyline:

Yes if they will be made, they will be but in time.. I dynno I can manage all in 3 weeks, as I need to work at the same time..

of course, i like solid bars so the idea is to bolt them down, then make the bar,and mark it's exact location so it can be taken out and welded. the points where the bolts go through is the weakest point on a bar. talking about from the bar to the plate. if you get rid of the bolts and make it saolid you can see a dramatic increase in stiffness. the other option in using a removeable bar,is to use AN aircraft bolts, to hold two pieces together, they have a very precise non threaded section,you can drill the holes the exact size and the bolts will have almost zero play. when the threads go through a hole, there is a lot of play and the threads actually wear down and change the dimensions of the hole.

Well on the front bars, mushroom toy will be letting me get a hold of the front mounting tabs from his DC bar soon!!! the only problem is the distance between us, and the fact i have no money really(gotta rebuild my head ) so if anyone wants to chip in like 5 bucks to get them shipped to me so i can get the dimensions and stuff i would love u forever!

[ghettogeddy]

if i get my check monday i def will chip 5 bucks

The bolt size is 10mm I use bore bit 10.5mm for a hole so technically speaking its only 0.2mm of play on each side, you never notice that 0.2mm really, but ok, I mark it for you so you get what you want

to Strugglebucket sorry bro, didnt meant to

and yes, the front is in the making, but it is more complex, so If I do one the price will be a bit bigger. Its really time consuming work, the cuting bit is really simple, but there is where the ball stop rolling, those markings need to be exacly the same and drilling part is not simple, but I'll work some perfect one for reference.
I will be posting every update..

that's what Geddy meant too. $20 for the rear bar. The front bar is still undecided.
