Fitted front strut bar

[luvemfast]

Thought that I'd share some pics of the strut bar that I made for the car.

Stainless mounts folded with a solid steel bar.

Took a few hours after work, probably more time to design it than to actual make it. I tend to go overboard with 3D models and doing cosmos analysis on it to get better results before I actually make it.

I also left a bigger inside dia so I can fit adjustable camber plates in the future.

Looks great, let us know if you feel like selling a few

Did you get and engineering shop to cut out the plates for you and make the bar links??

I work in the engineering trade, so I made it all from scratch.

Priced laser cutting, was too much IMHO.

Used a wire cutter (EDM) to cut the mounts out.

Used an oxy-acetelyne to heat up and bend the bar, then weld it to the end bushes that I turned on the lathe.

For me to sell them would be too expensive due to laser cutting costs.

Also were a bastard to bend the plates as the bends interfere with each other on the bender...... ended up using a vice and a hammer.

That looks well thought out and of quality workmanship!  Congrats!
