First semi-complete picture of my home-made drop-links. I still have to track down some jam-nuts. Can't wait to finish this sway bar project next week during my spring break.

ding ding...we have a winner. That was my plan. Since i will never be putting any load on them i don't think they should be too tough to turn. If it doesn't work well i cold possibly tac-weld a big nut onto it. It's all experimental right now.
The price was about the same, but with the rod section in the center I have much more control over length. I still have like 4 feet of rod stock that i could make any length needed. The ends are 3/8"...just under 10mm. You can bash me all you want for using 'merican hardware but it's just easier to find around here. I can run down to the local tractor dealership and find a HUGE selection of standard hardware in various grades. Works for me... David |
