The bracket part that goes on the suspension console is made from a piece of 5 or 6 inch wide steel and is cut at the top to clear the pivot shaft nut and washer. The bottom is rounded, just to look nice and is welded to the inner console portion. The bushings would have to be removed if you were doing the welding. The shaft is a piece of 3/4 inch thinwall 4140 tube with a nut welded on each end. At the front there is the bolt welded to a small place that is welded to the firewall. In the rear I bought a heim joint and use it with lock nuts to hold everything tight. This braces the inner suspension console from flexing fore-aft so it will take the loads of the slicks. I think the first one I saw was done by a fabricator named Charlie Wallace in san Diego but others have done them probably. Here's a shot and I'll try to get a couple of better ones.
