Very nice. I love that clean look... Is that POR15 under there?

Looks like a package of Skittles.

Holy bump steer spacer batman.

Throw a GoPro under there and see how much that steer arm/stack is flexing under fast transient steering flicks.

Some people have a second triangle shaped plate welded on going back to the strut tube to put that guy in double shear. Once you get to the point you have... I'd say it's a good idea...

126coupe - for gawd's sake, listen to Schumi. The mechanical inguneer in me just puckers right up at the sight of that last photo. That is going to break - no ifs, ands, or buts. Other than that, it all looks beautiful - but please, please, please - address that steering arm to strut arm joint.

Hi Mark.

Looks great. Yep, Chuck Moreland sells a Double shear bumpsteer spacer that might make you feel better than the ERP type there.

Are those original SWB hubs? The hubs got thicker over the years, maybe you can use the later ones and not have to use a big spacer.

Looks great! Be safe have fun.

Amen to that!

At risk of running against the tide. My nearly identical BS spacer held up fine as frog hair for bout 5 years......under tougher conditions.....bigger tires, rough venues. Never did fail.
