some vw carnage

my inner pivots have seen better days
if you look you can see the bolt is sucked in

inner side is pushed in

the 3x3 was pushed in to the frame horn

on the other side the bolt spun bending the retainer screw

if it wasn't for that screw i would have lost the arm
pulled motor and trans to rebuild pivots

for a little fun we but the arms i bought for the 4 door up to see how big they are

interesting bend... hadn't seen that one yet... bent arms ok.. wonder if a loop gusset, (like a boxed heim joint torsion end) could help this....

you might want to rethink that 2 inches of clearance at full bump. the surface you're on might not always be hard, and your tires are going to give a bit too. just a thought

By mymindsworld at 2012-04-09

i built the trans mounts so i can slide the trans.

By mymindsworld at 2012-04-09

I had to cut the center out for the nose cone to fit. I also made a guset across the bottom. going to add one across the top.
