Source for weld in camber boxes Options

[john rogers]

Does anyone have a source for weld in camber boxes that will work on a 914? Time to beef up the front end a tad I think.

when sideloaded, the design will now pivot over the top of the spring hat / bottom of the camberplate instead of the spherical bearing because of this, you will crush both the needle bearing and the spherical bearing and have the possibility of bending the shock shaft

Hmmm. I don't see what you're saying.

One of the problems with my current (most) spherical bearing only setup is the spring loads put the spherical bearing into thrust, which they are not designed to do. This system accomodates that thrust load much more appropriately.

I didn't think so until I understood how they work.

Now, the down side of this ground control deal, IMO, you give up front suspension travel.

Thinking about side loads.... Loads are tranmitted to the spherical bearing in both cases, even if you create this stack to deal with the thrust loads.



P.S. I enjoy these debates because we all learn from them.
