I've been thinking about also adding in bolt up points for a cage as well, If you want to go that direction.

Thought about pitching it worldwide? Maybe post on a couple of the euro sites? Like everything else, the shipping would probably kill it.
How much extra work is involved in making the jigs suitable for a production run? Worst case, if you only turned a few, would you re-coup? Jeff-

Biggest expence would be the build table, a 8'X4' slab of 1/2" steel

You can find that slab of steel just laying around on the street.
I use an actual frame head as a jig. I have both l/p and b/j versions. This one is my mid travel unit with up to 14 inches. It's 6 inches wider and 2 inches forward than stock... ![]() Here's one that I just finished.... ![]() And I'll be testing this street version out soon... There's quite a bit invested in heim joints and will be replaced with conventional type ball joints once its tested and adjusted proper...

Yeah, I know....
But you can never over design when it comes to making things safer..... The mid travel goes for about 4K and the street unit will be around 3200. |

I've come to the conclusion that VW people "want" all sorts of things. Marketing to them is very different story though.
