2.0 T-4 connecting rods, Lightweight (of course) Options

[URY914]

Does anyone have a picture of a lightened 2.0 rod?

Or a website that would have one?

I've searched all my stuff and can't seem to find one. I hate to have to go back through all my print material.

Thanks,

Paul

Nice brackets!  Aluminum?  What gauge

Thanks Mike,

I used 14 (.0641") gauge aluminum because I have very limited tools for working the metal. Basically a drill press and a saber saw.

I was worried about the rigidity of the throttle bracket but it is very strong, even with the lightening holes. You really can't feel it deflect when you pull side to side with a strong hand.

The cooler bracket as an assembly is also fairly rigid. I have plastic spacers between the cooler and the bracket and rubber sheet between it and the body. Feels very stiff, deflects the slightest bit side to side. maybe .05"

If the coolers do get wacked, at least they wont damage the body too much when they fail. If I used heavier stock, probably would rip the bottom of the trunk out.
