QUOTE Looks like the area being reinforced in Eric's photos didn't really need it... Well, even a guy like you can see what the gussets did for that arm (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Seriously, the gussets aren't to prevent mass failure as in John Rogers case or the arm that Brett is showing. They are there to prevent flex while driving the car. This was part of the conversation I had with Erik Madsen, that area does flex. I felt that even the simple gusset arrangement I've added will help reduce that flex tremendously... that's what gussets are for. I think I've accomplished my goal. A control arm that is 40-50% more ridgid than stock without the weight penalty. QUOTE Note to self, don't trust Eric's scale Note to Steve... don't you have a running car to purchase to take to an event, tear apart so you can't make the event, rebuild then sell??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Jim (Stratplayer) was just here and witnessed the scale first hand... so THERE!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif) Actually, the car's back running again, although still on jackstands, and I'll never be able to sell it, I'm in too deep. Should be pretty neat when it's finished though. I'd like to have it going for spring. |
