That's one of those "why didn't I think of that" things. Only investment is some drawing time, printer & paper.
Yep. With all his equipment, Brian Rupnow could take advantage of a business opportunity like this too. Hey Brian, are ya listenin'?
There's plans available to buy. There's places to buy redi-made parts. We should start a business selling jigs.:) :) :)Quote:

....... That is sumbudie should .............. I need another venture like I need a hole in the head.:CRY:
I've thought a lot about that in the past, Gary. For instance, a jig to build your own independent front suspension from scratch. Make it adjustable to accomodate different roll centers, different camber gain, etc., etc. Better yet, sell the plans to build the jig.
Bentwings, thanks AGAIN for the info. So you say that I should go with the traction bars and put a detroit locker in the 66 Ford truck? I wan't it to handle good on the street and hook the tires better. Right now the tires spin like crazy even when I don't try to spin them. There are times when I am already rolling at about 5 MPH or so and gas it and it won't do nothing or just churp but other than that they try to spin like crazy.
do you have enough room to run a watts linkage . invented by james watt of steam engine fame 150 years ago the rear end has a pivot pin attached. a horizontal link runs to a vertical rocker arm that pivots on rear end the other end of the rocker has another horizontal link one horizontal link high one low attach to opposite frame rails. the rear end moves only up and down not side to side i think speedway motors has them in their catalog a single panard bar works on track cars because most go in circles and rear end push can help you corner if it;s set up right
Close to the bottom of this page are photos of a Watts link....
