JESUS ANOTHER 521 PROJECT!!!!!

[jesusno2]

LOL a lot of places mass produce shit all day cough "China" cough cough don't mean they work. But that design is on a lot of asphalt/ dirt track cars it's does work. Just will it work on a stock Datsun prolly not, a modifyed datsun well with a BFH and and welder I guess anything possible. Never learn unless ya do the real thing!

A standard heim joint has about a 15deg off center range of motion.  As his arm raises the joint will go from 0 deg to the full angle his pivot bolt is mounted at when the arm reaches 90 deg.  As long as the pivot bolt angle is within the 15 deg of motion, it will work fine.  His pivot bolt can have more then 15 deg of angle to it since he has a limited range of motion.  If the arm only raises to 45 deg, it will only see half of the pivot bolt angle.  He has 15 deg of motion available in the joint, assuming the pivot bolt is perpendicular to the joint.  Angling the pivot bolt is necessary since the legs of his control are more than 15 deg from perpendicular to the cross shaft.

Good tech up in this thread :D

[jesusno2]

little video for ya sorry its so dark. and mindless babble right or wrong lol.

range of motion.

 

caster,camber adjustment.

[mrbigtanker]

Looks good keep up the good work.

[jesusno2]

Thank you man.

[Icehouse]

It was really dark in that video, is your shop always like that?  The shit you build is so bad ass!  I can't imagine how insane the stuff you build would be if you turned some lights in there :) 

[jesusno2]

Dude its not as dark as that video makes it out to be that's for sure. It just a quick couple. Videos I shot on my phone so theirs no camera tricks involved LOL. People have said to me before. Man if I was their I could take some bad ass pictures of your stuff, I said well I'm not stopping ya LOL. Photography is a skill I don't have.

[jesusno2]

So here is the start of the coilover towers/ upper control arm mounts. Just started so their just burned and formed. I will be slotting plates for them and adding some additional plating for reinforcement.

I may need a set of those after you work out any kinks ;)

OH theirs not gonna be any kinks were professionals  :rolleyes:  :rolleyes:

 

 

[jesusno2]

couple pics started in on one side this weekend working on the lower tube arms later on in the week.

[mklotz70]

Very Sweet!!!  You can even adjust the anti-dive if you wanted :)

[jesusno2]

Yup although we gotta play around with it cause that anti dive pitch adds caster angle I can physically go from 0 to 10+ degrees with this design of arm in about 1 min. Camber angle were gonna see, how the lower arm comes out.

[yello620]

Luke,

What bushings are you using for the lower control arm? The red ones already installed..

[jesusno2]

Those generic urethane 1.5 od ones I turned em down to fit the crossmember

[]2eDeYe]

Looks fantastic :D

[jesusno2]

thank you sir. appreciate it.

[jesusno2]

got a double tube lower arm started. still need to do some more work but so far its coming out like my suspension plotting program showed. staying about 2degrees negative camber castor angle i got range for more than  this truck will ever need. all while never taking any suspension peices off to adjust FTW!

[thisismatt]

Figured you'd be doing a lower A arm and ditching the T/C, but thasscool

[jesusno2]

Can't the steering is in the way at least to get enough spread on it to make it work like a A arm should. The TC rod is fine just gives ya a little more adjustment.

looks tits .... :thumbup:  :thumbup:

Nice work man, any plans to offer a 'kit'?

[Farmer Joe]

oh my... 

 

i want this. 

[jesusno2]

Nice work man, any plans to offer a 'kit'?

UMM I dunno. it would be alot of work for the average dude (not that I'm above average by any means), but with the body still on the chassis, might be a real bitch to put it all on.
