actually i do...

i;ve been contacting aurora bearings, and maker of tein pillow balls, to see what i could find.

mainly i need or want to know where did you get the bearings.

some parts i might can small or medium, but local shops can if help is needed especially on larger parts.

i;ve done throttle body plates at home as well as designed and machined parts for r/c monster truck chassies, that have competed in the NR/CTPA worlds races.

so minor machining i can do.


the larger stuff i usually take for local or whoever does it. one place i;ve resorted is onlinemetals.com


but on the bearings, do you have any info on where they are from and did you press em in or did they come mounted to the plate? i know some spherical bearings can be ordered "mounted" to a flange already.

trying to get a rough estimate on price of what it cost you, my other option on this was to do as ian lacey and mod some sentra mounts to work....
but my post on these was a few days ago when i was trying to get info... http://www.j-body.org/forums/read.php?f=3&i=89225&t=89143#89225


are you planning to make these or post up a how to?

Holy $#@! I'm definatley interested in these. If you don't make the kit I'm still interested in some plans. If thats the case, I may be able to fab some up for you at work Art.

I would definitely be interested in a set of those!


And Im pretty sure Event could make up a set of his own if you would help us out with a DYI, he's a pretty handy guy

not yet but maybe around 200$ us

This will be a bolt on kit with all the hardware

Dam-it Muffins (Event):

You can buy the bearing in any bearing store and you have to press in

thats not a bad price, considering the product... will this be bare metal or anodized?

also whats your turn around time look like?

I'm not too clear on the part that the strut is bolted to. Is that a spherical bearing of some sort? Does it have some range of movement?

The reason I ask is that many (all?) strut manufacturers will void the warranty if you're using a solid or pillowball mount. I'm not sure exactly what a pillowball mount is but the reasoning against a solid mount is obvious.

These look like they'd be a great final piece to my suspension, providing a flat, solid turning surface for the top hats while eliminating most of the sloppy range of movement inherent in the stock mounts.

anodized

Wild Weasel:

pillowball is the same thing that spherical bearing

spherical bearing alow the strut to move in any direction ecept up and down

you bastage!



MCMONEY. about how long would it take for you to whip up a set, and is it possible to get it blue in anodized?


i;d like to get it as quick as possible. soon as you say you have it and its in said price range, i'm ready.

or even if you can only get me the bearing lower part i can get a plate made. however it can be gotten the quickest.


just let me know...here, email, whatever it may be.
