But as 2JSC mentioned, check out the vendors sections and view their webpages and support them.

I like those delrin mounts. I bet one could fab a set of those pretty quickly out of cutting board.

I made a set of mounts for my torsion chassis out of a cutting board on top and the stock lower half of the mounts on the bottom and mounted them inboard of the stock location, with the stock lower half butted up against the ridge on the axle. My only beef with the set up is that the cutting board is thinner than the stock link mounts. It works fine, but I just think it could look better. I'm working on a sheet metal set up for my next chassis; I'll post plans when I'm done.

I would use those.

I like the delrin ones- kinda what I am looking for. I want to move the lower ling from under the axle to the front side of the axle- on rear, opposite for front.
I have not found any yet that seem to be what I am looking for, but the delrin set is pretty close.

I made these out of 1/4 inch aluminum. They are not too hard to make.

Wow, mega beef! Looks good.

[edman87k5]

I like!!!!
And being cheap, I was thinking of doing the same when time allows.

i really like the alum version and do it yourself is also a huge appeal. i have seen the homemade mounts out of cutting board on chrisjlittles' truck and it does work really well but the alum would look better

Yeah those do look pretty good.

However, when you are like me and only have access to a limited number of power tools and lots of hand tools, you can see why I went the TCS route...LOL! I'm not much of a fabricator to begin with anyways. Give me a screw driver and I will turn a screw.

I just have never felt the need to invest big cash into any major equipment/tools. My cordless dremel is my biggest investment in power tools in recent memory. Hand tools are mostly what I use.

Actually I made those mounts with mostly hand tools. Hacksaw and files for the most part. The only power tools I used are a home made belt sander and a $50 drill press. It does take a lot longer to make stuff with hand tools, but you would be surprised what you can make.

Here are the ones I made:

IF you have a dremel you could make these for about $5 and you'd have enough Alluminum stock to make 20+ of them
