FE7 strut endlink bracket

I've got the adjustable endlinks figured out. Summit should be bringing them today. I went with chromemoly heims and billet alum tie rod sleeves. Ends up being about $40 per side, but they'll be adjustable.

Geoff, I'd be interested in a pair of the brackets if you find them. It would save me some PITA fabrication.

Even if you find them you should post the diamensions or make a couple sets of them for people having a hard time finding them

Okay, so I got some photos and took some measurements this morning.

Here's a crude drawing with a few measurements that I took on the spot:

15 more photos of pretty decent resolution are in here: http://kflo.berettaspeed.com/fe7_endlinks/ a few of them have a tape measure in the photo too.

Hope that helps, though it looks like it could be a bitch to make...

You are the man, Workman! That is a lot of help...and it's a little discouraging. haha The complex bends are gonna be impossible for me to do without welding them as gussets. I also didnt realize from the pic I'd seen that the mounting location at the strut is doubled up. That does make sense though as it would make it easier to clear the little lip on the strut without a clearance cut and allow you to keep the rigidity.

Is Baims looking to sell a pair? haha

Assembled my new end links tonight. Still don't wanna fab that bracket though. haha

Nice!

If you started out with large C notched or box frame stock you may be able to cut out some brackets....

That's a good idea. I found some L-stock in the scrap bin at work that is about the same thickness and would probably work...but that extra bend would add a lot of rigidity. I've got to think a sway bar pushes/pulls on those brackets with quite a bit of force.

Hey Woody, I'll send you mine to use as mockups if you need to have one in front of you for design purposes. Just send em back when your done. They're freshly powdercoated too. Let me know.

That would be a big help to have a set in hand to duplicate. How much do you trust me to send them back? hahahaha

Enough. I've dealt with you before on bstuff and all went smoothly. Hit me with a pm if you want them sent. My GTU will be out of commission this year so I wont be needing them for a while.
Let me know.
