Done with my Homemade double adjustable LCA's here's the finished product they are not adjusted right yet and i think im gonna face another 1/4" of both sides to give me a little back adjustment if i need it but other than that they look good

Hey, those look pretty nice. I love seeing stuff made by fellow enthusiasts. If you don't mind me asking, how much was it for the parts?

Nice work. How did you finish the steel to keep it from rusting?

i spent $57 on a set of rod ends (had $20 off) and $23 on a left hand thread tap and the material was free

All you gotta do now is send them to Silver Ghost,
the Powder Pro , and have him coat them.
He did my brake calipers and I can't believe just how well they've held up over the year. As you can image, I put alot of heat into my brakes and I take my wheels and calipers on and off quite a bit and there's not one scratch on them. I couldn't be happier.

Now that I look at these again I'm a little concerned about the L/D (Length to Diameter Ratio). If you haven't already done so, you may want to calculate the critical load to insure that they won't buckle or flex too much under hard launches.

They look good. It is always great to see people showing interest in machining... it seems to be a trait many people don't know and have anymore or show desire.

those wouldn't be a big deal to coat. $50 shipped to the lower 48, single coat color.
