i use solid alum.stock 1/2 x whatever w/b you want and just drill and tap the ends and use hyme joints because its stonger than plastic also jb welding the hymes in helps to just the way i did it but search around

HMMM, I might be able to hook you up with a couple a heim joint/ball ends. I have a few extras from my build...I did end up needing to sleave these with some 17/32" brass tube and then bore the clod axle mounting location to 17/32" for a tight wobble free fit. And then I drilled and tapped them, they're steel, with a 4-40 screw...just to be safe.

Guess we just need to work out how to get them to Pueblo...@ $2.40 a gallon I'm not really up for a drive. Maybe you can PM me and we'll finish there if interested.

Stan.

i used 3/8 hex aluminum, ball ends for a go-cart steering, hurricane clips for the shock towers and pennies at each end for the washers to lock the rod to the ball joints.
