Riceburner Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 I adjusted mine again last weekend. Was so easy, job done in 15mins! Quote
dat2kman Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 I adjusted mine again last weekend. Was so easy, job done in 15mins! And how was the rear toe angle and camber angle changes, through the movement of bump and rebound? (Fit a rear strut without the spring, and with car still jacked, use a second jack to move wheel up, then down, simulating total travel) Quote
d3c0y Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 I should be able to video this pretty easily, as i currently have my car up on stands and the springs out of my struts. Don't know when i get to it though. Quote

(Fit a rear strut without the spring, and with car still jacked, use a second jack to move wheel up, then down, simulating total travel) Not sure I didn't try it. I had no idea how to measure it properly. What should happen if you've set it up correctly? Any suggestions for a backyard DIY way of measuring? I did try those 250lb springs, no good though. The car was about 10" of the ground with positive camber! Lol. Back in with the 220's. Quote
cracker Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Hi Guys Still beavering away with the arms,i can now get them electroplated or powder coated,the plating is slightly dearer than powder coating. Cheers David What material are you using to electroplate? Quote
zcar63 Posted March 13, 2014 Author Posted March 13, 2014 Hi All Electroplating stuff as far as i know.i went down the road to see a couple of blokes i know the other day to have a chat about car stuff and he told me the electroplater across the road had reopened.Google "Eastcoast electroplating" and all will be revealed Cheers David Quote
cracker Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 http://www.zincplating.com.au/ Is this the one? I'm guessing that it's the super zinc that is used? Quote
d3c0y Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Hey Dave, I was wondering why you have drilled out the bolts the go through the rear link rose joint? Quote
zcar63 Posted March 20, 2014 Author Posted March 20, 2014 Hi Jake I try to lighten the parts where i can ,i think i must be channeling Colin Chapman (see Lotus car company) Cheers David Quote
zcar63 Posted May 3, 2014 Author Posted May 3, 2014 Hi Guys/Gals I 've just had them electroplated, the plating only goes an inch(25mm) or so up inside the tube Quote
44014 Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 Hey mate, How much are rhese again ? And can i still get them in black plastic coating? Cheers Doug ( very impressed by Jakes set ) Quote

zcar63 Posted January 17, 2015 Author Posted January 17, 2015 Hi All I Might have enough material to make another pair of arms, is their any interest ? Cheers David Quote
zcar63 Posted January 17, 2015 Author Posted January 17, 2015 If anyone has a dividing head or/and rotary table we might have a deal to be done in exchange for the control arms. Cheers David Quote
Riceburner Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Wow, they look great David! I really shouldn't be shocked after fitting/using your rear control arms, these front ones look awesome too Quote
44014 Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 In the reflection of the rose joint in the second picture it looks like your not wearing pants.... Quote
zcar63 Posted March 8, 2015 Author Posted March 8, 2015 Doesn't everyone pull their pants down when ogling suspension parts ? :o Quote
600Z Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Very nice work I like them. Just wondering what wall thickness tube are you using? Justin Quote
dat2kman Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Good bit of kit! Bons is the in-out adjuster, like a tie rod, you dont have to drop the Heim joint by pulling pin out f crossmember, to adjust. Quote
