Alright, I'm getting ready to start desigining some long arms for my XJ.
What I want to know is, Should I try to emulate the T&T Y-Link design, or should I just go with the RE radius arm design because it seems like a more simple design? My only concern with the Y-link would be that the tube is bent, but I could just put a gusset on it, and plus the Y-link seems to be fine without it.
Almost all of the guys in my club run Rubicon (Our shop is a supplier of RE so they only install them). So I could easily get some measurements off their rigs. I really don't know anyone who has the Y-link to look at thiers.
I was also planning on cutting up my RE short arms and using the end bushings and superflex joints on the new arms. I was lookin online and saw a couple things from RE I could order to make the building a little easier. Sound alright?
I have access to a lathe, mill, welding supplies, tube bender, etc. in our machine shop. All the guys I know are Engineers so I was thinking about having them help me design some stuff once we are done building our car for the races.
