Building traction aids

[Yukoncornelius]

I am starting to build some c@$#%track style bars. I have all my measurements and am cutting, milling and turning bushings on the lathe. Should be done soon. Need a set of stock rear shock mounts.

 

[Yukoncornelius]

Making low profile mounts first.

 

[Yukoncornelius]

Would like to start with a run of 5 to help with cost of materials. Or i will just make a set for myself.

Does anybody have a set of stock rear shock mounts, or do I have to fabricate those too? The 2 junkyards around me only deal with 2-3 year old vehicles. The rest have closed due to urban sprawl.

These are similar to blindawg bars from a few years back. Different lower shock mount if I can't find stock ones

Someone did something to my rear tires and I had 2 blow outs. The axle to rod joint centerline is the only measurement I hadn't taken yet and my brackets are toast. I was thinking 2 11/16 to 3" but am not sure. Curse me for not writing it down. Can anyone help, please? I will pay 2x the price plus moneyy conversion and duty to ship to Canada because they won't ship USPS. That is why I want to build my own.

What’s price for low profile bars? If good deal I’m in!

First group of 5 $230 then $250. I don't have access to a powdercoater so they will be painted or bare.

Heim joints cost me $100

What size are the rear shock studs? Mine broke off..

 

[Sy644]

I’m not sure what’s size for studs on bottom plate. I can check later

 

[Yukoncornelius]

Is it 14mm or 9/16"? Will 9/16" work? Meaning will 9/16 fit through the shock hole?

Check out thorbros.com
They have a good amount of S10 suspension builder parts and are very reputable in the low rider community.
They have what your asking for when it comes to the lower bracket.

 

[Yukoncornelius]

Looks like they have 5/8" shock bolts, but how long?

 

[Yukoncornelius]

Anybody interested?

 

[Sy644]

7/16 size stud and 2 1/4 long stud on bottom shock plates, not upper one.

 

[Yukoncornelius]

Thanks

7/16 is a thread size but don’t know what’s size after threads. Bet 1/2 or 9/16 like that
