I really like the concept! I might have to build something similar but, I think I'll use pillow block bearings and a matching shaft (can probably get them from the hvac guys at work;D ) and assemble it into one bolt on unit. The only problem that I can see with your design is, that if you ever have to replace that inboard heim, you'll have to cut one of the arms off as you have it trapped between the two of them. Is that the Astro Van m/c that you're using? Disc/disc or disc/drum brakes? Would a Corvette or Camaro(?) m/c give more hood clearence. Anyway great out of the box thinking!-------Hans
You're right, I will have to rework the shaft if I need to replace that heim,but I'm hoping that I'll never have to(it's wishfull thinking on my part,I know). That is an Astro Van hydroboost and mc from the local junkyard and I have disc/drum on my Bronco(that was on the Astro Van also). I've seen pics of the corvette mc and it does look like it has a lower profile and would fit easier under the hood,but I was trying to keep the cost down as much as possible and if I couldn't make the van mc work then I would have used the corvette mc. Thanks
