I made some a while ago. made a simple jig using a bit of box section and threaded bar to replicate a rear with bone and used used nuts to work out spacer sizes pretty simple to do.

Found a chap on ebay to make me the spacers and had the bars cut to length and ends tapped for rose joints

do you have any measurements still?

cossirob

I do still have some drawings BUT when I was making them I kept tweaking the measurements until I got them perfect and now I cant remember for the life of me what ones of my drawings are correct and what ones aren't so I could end up giving you the wrong ones lol.

Lee read

have you still got the car with them on and see what measurements add up? Or send what you got and I'm sure I could work it out lol

cossirob

The car is in my mates body shop for paint but hes doing it on the side so he might have it a few weeks or a few months. Il post up the drawings I have but like I said take them with a pinch of salt as I cant say for sure if they are the correct ones.

Main spacers/rose joint reducer

Lee read

are those the spacers mate?

cossirob

4 link bar sizes at the bottom, cant remember what them spacers/ reducers are?

Lee read

ok il get my brother to make all of them. What size tubes did you use?

cossirob

Spacers & bar measurements for the bottom of hub to chassis arms

cossirob

yeah they are the ones for the rear 6 rear link kit

Lee read

what size tubes are they mate?

cossirob

Had a load of thick washers made to sit on the outside of the rose joints to allow them to move freely

cossirob

This drawing correspond to the 4 links bars & spacers below

cossirob

This drawing corresponds to the arms below. The 9mm spacers are used to slot inside the cone fitting to stop it crushing when boltimg a rose joint onti the side of it


Thats all the pictures and measurements i have but like i said they might not be my final drawings (im pretty sure they are) and they might not be 100% correct for your car/ setup so id recommended you use them as a reference rather than copy them exactly.

cossirob

I also had new tie bars made for the front that go from the tca to the anti roll bar setup off an s1 rst. Might have drawings for them too somewhere 😂

Lee read

please mate if you do I would like to use them a lot. And thank you for all of that mate. Cant wait to get stuck into that part of it. What diameter and thickness tube did you use?

cossirob

that's who i used for all mine but was pretty shocked how quickly they've started to wear out, my rears all have play in them and could do with being replaced

which ones would you recommend as there are loads?

cossirob

I used there ultra high performance ones (there top spec ons) and they lasted about 800 - 1000miles max on the road, I know they are not best suited for road use but expect them to last longer then that.

Lee read

is there anywhere else I can get them from? I don't want to be replacing them every 1000miles

i think rubber boots and grease is required to give them some longevity

Hi mate did you find the drawings for the front? And what thickness wall was used for the tubes? And the inner diameter
