home made parts

Hoghead · #1 November 5th 2007, 00:36

I have the Eagle Performance part, and it spigots into the torsion bar tube. The idea is to take the load on the torsion tube, but the fit in my 40 year old corroded tube is not so great, and I question on how well this will work.
Current thought is to attach with grade 12.9 Allen bolts and TIG to the torsion casting.

The thread engagement on the heim end joint is about 25mm. A bit more thread would be nice.

I got straight plates for a 944 and not a Beetle with offset plates as shown in the pic. I think he was confused by my 944 arms so be very careful when ordering. The plates are now in Thailand and the freight to bring in offset plates is more than the part.
All I can do is use a spacer or get new plates made here

Turbo Haraune2 - What trailing were they designed for ? steels or alloy ?

CAD drawings, what did you want for them ?

MBT makes one also, but pricing is through the roof

I dont know what to charge for the drawings,or my legal rights if somebody starts producing my parts and selling them.

For private use its no problem to give a copy for free. but if someone then starts producing them?

i'd only be interested in doing a one-off production of it for my own use, so its easier to adjust the toe angles and cheaper than off the peg ones (hopefully)

Hi, sorry for budding in, but I don't need a file. I just need one for a type 2 or type 1. I plan on graphing a type 2 rear suspension for an automatic to my 1303, so thus the need for a possible type 2 one. You said you did the work in class, how about a group buy and you allowing one person do the project with your premission?
