I am in progress of restoring an ex-race car 914. Cleaning suspension parts and making a shopping list.
Trailing arm pivot shafts are both way less than smooth where the bushings contact the shaft. I am considering fabricating my own shafts from 4130 tubing, but before I order the stock to do that I wonder what others do? I cant seem to find any stock shafts available from the 'regular' suppliers, plenty of aftermarket suspension kits that include the shafts. I am planning on using bushings from PMB, and installing a 'zerk' fitting so having the urethane contacting the bare 4130 shouldnt be an issue when lubed (as in no chrome plating needed) I even have the option of making the wall thickness a bit thicker.... Any help appreciated, thanks to all. |
