I posted a while back about a customers model A that he wanted split bones on the back but they interferred with the running board brackets. I got a lot of advice not to do it this way, so I made the bones into lower links of a four bar system. The upper bars are 1 1/4" DOM with bungs, as the customer already had some. I couldn't get a good pic under the car of the upper link, so that will have to wait until the body comes back off. This still retains teh look of a split rear wishbone and now works with the running board bracket.
Hey Brokenspoke, that little box with the colorfull swirls and lines in it, that is marked "attached thumbnails" IS actually a picture. If you click your mouse over it it turns into a bigger picture. SXDXMike, Yeah, it's still a banjo, it got converted to open drive with a chevy 4 speed tranny. The true purpose is that is what the guy who owns it wanted. It does have a nice 50's ish hot rod feel to it too.
Brokenspoke, you sure are a picky guy for one who doesn't know how to read! Here is a quote from the original post. "I couldn't get a good pic under the car of the upper link, so that will have to wait until the body comes back off." As far as the upper link goes, its a piece of tube with two heims joints and two weld in bungs, I see very little to imagine with that description. As to its worth, well to each his own, but showing what I did to make a split wishbone into a lower link may have some worth to someone. In fact I wish this post was here when I was searching for a way to do it. So I hope it will be worthwhile to some one in the future.
