Default Constructing a 6 Degree Rear Beam

Hi, i would like to improve the rear suspension on my 3-door Rs.
Thinking of improving the standard beam to a 6 degree.

Anybody have some tips for this job? Where should i buy the uniballs etc? I have searched on ebay, but i'm not sure how big uniballs i need.


Thanks for your help guys

tbh m8 theres a couple of companies out there that make them, i personally wouldn't attempt to cut n shut one on my own.

1 is actually for sale at the moment for 850 quid by mt motorsport in the parts for sale section.

It's not just a case of replacing the bushes with rose joints.
It needs to be made in a jig.

I did understand that this has to be done in a decent jig...
I have worked alot with steel construction, so I do think I can handle this. Anyway i have 3 beams at the moment, failing on one doesn't matter.
