I came across this site some time ago when I was building my chopper. Now I'm building a lakes modified style open car and I got this crazy idea...
Well I need to thank everybody for their input. I have received many, many emails regarding selling my wheels. I am still undecided but hope to...
I would love to know how long your triangulated top links are! Thanks, Motor
Bolt pattern is 5 on 5.5" and they are 18" tall. I need to measure the width. As to who is repoping them, I would like to know myself. Motor
bttt for the mornin.
I thought the repop thing was just rumor. I better hurry up and sell them ;P
I'm asking because I'm toying with the idea of selling the three I have or waiting a good portion of a life time to find a fourth one. I...
Thanks for the input everyone! The person I'm buying them from needs to confirm hole pattern before I buy all four. If I could see them in...
The person selling them does not seem to know how to measure hole pattern so I'm trying to figure it out. They do know this: 1933 1934 1935 1936...
The split lower bones are 44" long and the top link is 13" long. I may end up making the rear bones longer, it all depends on where they fall...
I just did the CAD swing thing and I only end up with .65 degrees of pinion angle movement over 3.5" of travel. I also calculated that the axle...
Will having links of such different length be an issue with this design? Motor
Here is a quick drawing of what I'm thinking. Granted elements are not drawn as beefy as they need and connecting tabs are missing. The lower...
I know what your sayong, I just don't have room on top of the pumpkin. I think it may hit the gas tank. Motor
How does it ride?
Johnny, That design fits great in my design. Do you think it matters if I reverse the the direction of the triangle? I want to keep the...
Do you think having uneven arm length and altering pinion angle will be an issue? How deep, front to back, as in total swing will that...
Thanks for all the posts everyone. Yo Baby, Do you have any images or sketches of what your talking about? I would like to see exactly where...

bttt Come on guys, keep the ideas coming, Please! Motor
NO! I just drew it and CAD and it hit the floor, NO ROOM! How about using a ladder bar set up like a SoCal unit but dropping them realy...
I was thinking parallel three bar with pan hard or maybe triangulated four. How about using a ladder bar set up like a SoCal unit but dropping...
Actually, the top is whats creating the problem. The frame uprights represent the back of the body and are limiting the length of top link. The...
Hey suspension gurus. I have been racking my brain designing my rear suspension for my lakes modified style car. Can you take a look at this...
Any new pics??? Would love to see them. Motor
Sounds like a great topic for "Tech Week"
If you want I have a 2D .DWG drawing of a stock model a frame. I would be happy to email it to you. Motor
I could use a bit more input. Does anyone have drawings that show how to set up a triangulated four bar properly? Thanks, Motor
Anyone else have $.02 ? Bueller?.. Bueller?.. Bueller?
