Frount LCA's
Well I ordered some stock frount LCA's so I could copy them.
I wanted to fabraicate some from tube stock.
What size would make a good tube body?
I was thinking 1'' diameter and .100'' thick.
What about the bushings on the end?
I don't realy have any idea how big to make them.
I was thinking 1 1/4'' diameter stock maybe and at least as thick as the 1'' stuff, but I don't know for sure.
Has any one made there own or bought after market ones and know how thick the steel was?
I was looking at the LCA's on a '64 Impala and that's where I got the idea for thickness. The '64 is the closest car to a 3rd gen camaro I could find over here.
The FLCA's I want to make might not end up being made of steel at all.
