Make "sway away" type adjustable spirng plates from 944 units
Ok, so heres my deal.
I don't want to grind into my shock towers to use 944 adjustable spring plates. AND i dont want to spend 300+ bucks on some "sway away" style ones aswell. So i want to make some home made sway away ones using the 944 spring plates as a base. It looks like all i have to do it create a stop tab (mounted on the splined part/plate) and then crate a simalare style tab BUT with a threaded hole and a large adjuster screw mounted into it that would ride on the other tab. Example of a "sway away" style: BUT, my question is on how they are supost to work. I need to know if that adjuster screw just "hits" that tab or if it is mated into it some how. Thinking about it, i THINK that it just hits it and is not fixed with it becuase you would have a downward force (from the t-bars) and a upward force (from the wheels/gravity), those forces would keep the adjuster screw tight together with the tab i would think? But wanted to ask before i start making somthing. Thanks, Jonathan
