There's been a lot of talk about these lately. They're 12 gauge steel making them difficult to fabricate, unfortunately they're no longer available from Porsche, and tragically, nobody makes a replacement for them. So let's figure out what can be done.

Here's where we're at while I'm getting ready for my career change. Super In Law is still working on repairing the rust on the cut out long first (pattern base) . Sorry to say the four that I've cut open have had rust damage. After he finishes that he'll start the hammer work on the ties. When we're happy with what we've created we'll hand it off to an ME at church and he'll do the 3D thing. They'll see if they can manufacture them and at what cost. They manufacture crop picking machines, primarily tomatoes. All I hope to get of that is the drawings. Then we'll hand them to Mark and see what his metal folks can do.
If that hits a dead end. I'll see if my new boss, Mr. Gamroth can get us into contact with one of his manufacturing folks. At the end of the day I hope Pete and his family at RD can do them. But it sounds like the entire next year is all scheduled out. My plan is to have Super In Law prepare both the left and right suspension pieces. Build two or three of each. Then maybe ship the long pieces to RD with one of each that we've created. We'll get this done ............ Off to a PCA autocross ................. |
