Lamont Welding & Fabrication in Antioch, CA (925) 754-7824 has a fixture to modify trailing arms. It holds the trailing arm in the correct stock alignment.
He mounts the trailing arm in the fixture, cuts it in half and welds in a 1/8" rectangular plate. The 1/8" plate helps to reduce twisting deformation by breaking the twisting length of the arm into two lengths instead of one long length. The charge is $80.00 per trailing arm. I just had my trailing arms reinforced. This reinforcing method is better than plating the arms with heavy sheet metal. |

You will eventually rip the console out
My style is bolt in because my rules require no weld in braces. Just read the rules for the class you want to run. Email the tech/eligibility person for any class you may go to in the future and print the response |
