Lower Strut Rods Finished

Finally got around to finishing the lower strut rods and spacers for the trailing arms...

1"x 0.250" wall DOM Steel tubing for the rods

Spacers are from some 1" 316 Stainless Rod.

I need to polish and clear coat them yet but they are DONE!!

Actually I painted them as I need to weld the 6 link brackets to the top. I'll just use my 1/4" die grinder with a scotch brite pad and clean off the area that needs to be welded and repaint

Tomorrow I'll fit the Dragvette Saftey loops and lay out the top side of the arm.

I just made a set for a buddy in the back of the subdivision,I had a spare set of poly ends just made up a set of DOM rods,turned out nice
and adjustment is a piece of cake now.

I made mine with 4 flats so you had a little more ease to adjust.
