Since joining you guys i've tried as much as possible to buy through folks in the club, well now i've got a need for one of these. But the longacre & other racers store offering are not quite right.
I'm looking for them to be adjustable from 5" to 7" Ends need more than the 90 degree of freedom in the curent design. Cost approx $20 each. The tarett sway bar links are close in design but way over engineered for this application. Any takers?? Attached image(s) |

Easy:
Couple of Rode end bearings, and a tube. Peguases Racing sells alium, tie rods that should fit the bill. Rod ends can be had cheaper else where: Cheaper Rod end bearings, for this app, should not be an issue. I would not use them in a true Tie Rod, but for a simple piece that is not critical ( Life or Death) this should work fine, and save a few $$$ What kind of laod are you expecting? Turnbuckles while not in the cool factor range costa lot less. BTW, you can get a forged turnbuckle for about $10-22 depending on the range and load. |

... but for a simple piece that is not critical ( Life or Death) this should work fine, and save a few $$$ ... I dunno, have you seen what happens to a formula car that suddenly looses the rear wing??? I doubt it's much fun to be the passenger on that one. I say passenger, 'cause once that wing departs company with the car, that's all you are.... -Josh2 |
