Tony/Ry,

So why not replace the subframes while you're at it. That could allow rod ends for the castor adjustment, and would most likely take off a bit more weight.

This could also be used to tie everything together with the cage int he future.

Bill, maybe on the next evolution, but at this point I don't think Ry wants to spend that much money. It would not be a cheap project.

Btw:are you going to drop my off the motor for mock-up?

Tony, Krazik,
how are the a-arms coming?

any idea how the bushing size (diameter) will be designed?
same as OEM - to make it possible to exchange them poly bushings?

thanks

If someone sends me CAD drawings/models, I'll do any analysis on just about any parts you might have. I've got a few sets of software here that I can run them on, depending on how accurate you'd like it to be.

Heck, send me a hand sketch and I can do it.

the arms were put on hold for the time being for some other mods.

But no I wouldn't expect them to work w/ the oem bushings. If there is more true interest the project can be revived. Otherwise I'll probably wait till the winter.

Ansys / Algor is far better than SW @ FEA.
