Look for a Thread...PLEASE HELP

There was a guy with an early 911 or maybe a 912 that did a completely custom rear suspension set-up utilizing hime joints and lots a fabrication. I believe that the car was orange and had 993 cup rims. I just finished searching about 100 pages of threads and cannot find the post...someone please help.

Britain,

Testing my memory and search capabilities here but was it presented in Chris Streit's Coil-over thread? No room for coil-overs. Now what?

Getting close?

Nope...not in that thread either. This set-up had completely revised rear suspension that did not use the banana control arms. He had built a box around the tranny and fabrication a set-up similar to the ERP front suspension using hime joints and tubing.


PLEASE HELP ME FIND IT!

"Hyme" joint is sort of an old fashioned term for the generic rod ends. If you change your search to use the other spelling I show and/or "rod AND ends" you might find it.

Look in the "Winter Projects" thread. The owner seems a bit secretive about his project or doesn't have time to post. He's a manufacturing engineer I believe.

Thanks for straightening that out. I actually did a google on "hyme" and got significant results. However, if you want to buy them from McMaster-Carr, you need to use 'rod ends' in your product locating nomenclature.

Sure -- your Google finding reminds me of an EBay trick - search under an alternative spelling to find items with fewer bidders driving up the prices.

Jamie, I was thinking of the second link you posted. I couldn't find it though. Good work.
