Thatsliam Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 How are you doing the tow bar attachment. Are you pushing a pole up through the ball bearing with a screw ontop? or just leaveing it with no screw? Anyway nice work so far and i hope the rest of the build goes your way.

ckemp21 Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 cheers. thats not actually a bearing but a square steel nut which shall be welded. there is an M4 bolt passed through to the rod end. (spring is between the nut and the rod end) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
