A-Arm blue prints?

[Im-Loving-It 69]

Me and my buddy are thinking about making a set a set of a-arms and i was woundering if some on would tell me the blue prints for a set of +2-2 or +2-1 Or if any one has ever mad a set thay could tell me some things to do and not to do? We plan on making them out of crom molly and using hime joints. any help would be nice.

i always wanted to know the same thing

there is a local tube forming shop near me that can work with chromoly and i start tig welding class tommorrow

i have thought about takin my stocker off before and mapping out the bends and measuring them up, but havent done it yet. im in good with the guys who own the local sandrail shop so bending isnt an issue, and i have a welder. im just wonderin if its worth it.

I wouldn't use heim joints. I've seen to many sloppy ones.

So know one has any blue prints of a set of A-Arms? Or mybe some one can make up a map of a set that you have. Any help would be nice

i am very tempted ot layout a tracing of my stock arms and then go from there

you know that the pivots will be the same for any arm

there are 2 points of the triangle

and the ball joint of the stock one if you mark that and measure out 2 inches and over 1 inch

 

like if say you coudl get a big sheet of graphing paper to map it all out of

 

or draw it up on the computer using a cad system

 

if you look at the arms from duncan racing you will see that no fancy tight bends are actually needed on the ball joint end of the arms

 

but a tube notcher and some very careful measuring and lineing things up woudl be a must on a project like that

 

but its very possible to do i think

very much so. if you ran a more forgiving welder setup, id be easier to match the two tubes. although measurment is highly essential.

It's done, he is taking it out next weekend for the initial beating.

So if some one would be so kind to make up some blue prints of ther aftermarket A-Arms and help us all out it would be much help to us.
