I recieved my package from
onlinemetals.com, BUT... I did not recieve the 0.5" nylon rod, nor one of the 1/4" 7075 plates I ordered for some shock towers.
The rod is on backorder I guess, but they just f'd up not sending the other 7075 plate. Making the towers is going to be a big pain, so who knows if I will end up doing it, but I paid for the plate regardless.
In other news, I decided I'm going to go with Mugen arms for the arm extension. Thanks to Nard Cox for getting me the dimensions. I like this setup as it uses a pillow ball cront carrier that can easily be reversed to achieve the 4WS. Also, caster is set by offsetting the upper arms, rather than built into a C-hub design that is more common in truggies. Simply reversing steering arms in the rear yeilds positive caster. Not good.
The obsticles will be the upper arm arrangement and arm braces for the lower arms. I can make my own arm braces I think. Hopefully I can figure something out to get captured pins. The mugen upper arm will not fit in the sav bulkhead really. I will have to come up with something. Normally just using a tie rod would work, but the pillow ball setup needs something to screw into. Perhaps I can use a Sav adj upper arm, a tie rod and a coupler for the pillow ball? Maybe even a custom ext alu arm from FLM with threading for the pillow ball... IDK. Something will work.
