PBH:
1. We had both stainless SS2333 (AISI 304) and plain steel plates cut out. Picture shows plain steel plates.

2. This is a stiff full-race setup. Ridequality wise, it's worse than OEM (no rubber to dampen vibrations). But it's very rigid and allows you to set different camber angles w/o loading torsion-bar bushing.

RickM: These are heavy duty 12.9 bolts. I could only find them with hex head. Believe me, these bolts are strong as hell. They don't get rounded...wrneches snap off

Chuck: What do you think of drilling small hole trough hex head and safety-wiring it aircraft-style?

P.S.
It's impossible for insert to rotate in the torsion-bar hole as uniball-bolt holes is drilled off center. In order for bushing to rotate, bolt has to break. As far as I see it, only possible design problem would be a possibility of bolt loosening from cylindrical insert. Cylindrical insert is tightly bolted to plate, and it has quite long threaded hole. I find it very unlikely that bolt will loosen from torque applied trough uniball. A drop of Loctite and/or safety wire whould do the trick, no?
