Default A little update

Cobrakiwi Thanks I made the holes 1 1/2 It Looks like a sloppy fit but thats what the plans call for.

What material should I have made the pedals out of.

Is there any other place besides cobra restorers for the pedal springs. The price about $20 each .I needed 4 . Was feeling cheap and made a jig and made my own. they take about 2 mins each. Sometime this summer I am going to make a pattern an cast my own pedal pads. I am going to do this because I can.The two pads I have came from Cobra Restorers.

Now I need some info. I have the material cut for the rear lower control arms .
My plans only show the control arm and the pin to conect the control arm to the upright. What steel should be used for the pin. Does anyone have a picture or a drawing that shows all the parts needed to Install the upright to the lower a arm. I think it takes a bushing And some kind of seal and I am not sure of what else. Also I think the shocks attach to these pins. I hope someone can shed a little light on this. Thats all for now . Mark
