built me a set of traction bars

[o2camaross]

The heims and all were $135 the hardware was about $30 the tubing with shipping was about $50 and the brackets were free bc we had extra metal laying around. And the heims came in a set of 8 with 4 rh and 4 lh

feel like cuting any more brackets?

[o2camaross]

i got the tubinh from http://www.onlinemetals.com/merchant...=2&top_cat=197. i got 5' of the 1.25''OD x .120 wall for the bars and 2' of 1'' OD x .120 wall for the spacers. And the heims are from here http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/4-LIN...item5ad05ee356. And I dont really have ready access to the waterjet considering it belongs to a university and if they catch me cutting out parts that i intend to sell then i risk getting expelled lol. But i would be more than happy to give any measurements needed.

yeah those are the same heims i was looking at as well. thanks for the links, what lenght did the tubing end up being cut to? something like 28"? if you wanna take measurements on the brackets that would be amazing. totally up to you. thanks for the help.

The tubes were cut to 27.5" but I would mock up the brackets if I were u then measure bc dumpd04's were cut to 28.5" and if I wouldn't have mocked and measured then they wouldn't have worked for me. The brackets have three holes. Looking at the front bracket as if it were long side down the top big hole is 1&1/16". The left hole is 9/16" and the right hole is 3/4". From center to center of the big hole to the other holes is 3.5" and they are on 90*. I have a 1/4" of material around each hole. The rear brackets are 2.5" wide at bottom. The hole is 3/4" in diameter. And from the bottom of the bracket to the center of the hole is 3.5". Is everything clear lol?
