Got the parts but no instructions, Roller bearing suspension Options

[skline]

Got my new parts yesterday but when I took everything out of the box, there were no instructions. Does anyone have any instructions on how to install these? I mean most of it is self explanitory but there are some things I have to question. Like, where does the large O ring go? My best guess would be it is a seal to go on the outside to seal out dirt fromt the external rollers around the washer between the control arm and the mount on the car. This is starting to look like work. Mike, you out there?? This is your design.

Mike, your not selling the bearings anymore? damn, just when I was thinking I neede to do that

I'm just taking a haitus while i figure out how to make them a little more production freindly for myself.....

front kits I outsource the machined parts from local machine shops...so all I have to do is bag them, the problem is the outlay of about 2 grand with each order to buy enough parts to get decent pricing....

currently for the rear kits, it's a PITA to produce....I buy the shafts in ~3' lengths, use an abrasive cutoff saw to cut them, then I precision grind the ends of the shafts in my lathe with homemade grinding attachment (I try to keep them -.001/+.002)

then the drilling for the 14x2.0 thread, the shafts eat up my drill bits big time, it normally takes 3 bits per hole to get to the 1" depth (I resharpen the bits, so sometimes I'll get lucky and get one hole per resharpening)

for the tapping, I'm lucky if I get 4 holes per one tap...


for the tubes I do a rough cut on with my bandsaw, then I use my lathe to clean up the ends and get those within the same tolerance range as the shafts....

I have a few ideas to either outsouce the machining of the rear kits and/or, re-design the kit completely.....

let me know when your ready, I'm sure I can find an "extra" kit for you (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
