I tried making a pair of those a few years ago. I didn't have any kind of CAD program at the time, but I did have some used bushings from a dead beam. The ones I made LOOK terrific, but they don't actually work. Everything about them was just a tad too big to slip thru the bushings when tilted. These were not hardened; they were just thick enough, about 3/8", that they're not going to bend. Just another project that needs revisiting.... -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
