Just wanted to say, talking with jack has been a good thing. I would also like to say his honesty is greatly appreciated. Thanks jack, I will be doing business with you.

Talking with Jack is always a good thing He is always happy to give advice to us locosters too. If I ever move back to the Pac NW I know who I want to work for

here are my a-arms that i built using jacks as a template... though not fully complete (missing a few small pieces)

some shots of the welds, the tigs are brians and the mig is mine

also, ordered kurts book... should have read the kimini book long ago, and im sure there will be a few thing (at least) i will want to change

i think i made the 3" piece for the upper backwards... will end up with a VERY short swedged tube, maybe it will be okay? i might have to remake them if i dont like them...

which piece?

this piece

i positioned the tab upside down... maybe it will work still, i just will need a shorter swedged tube. im not sure how it will affect shock pass through

Are the left and right side pieces the same or are they mirrored parts" If mirrored, you could flip them side to side, maybe?

they are the same

Cut the tab off with an angle grinder w/cutoff wheel, clean up the pieces and re-weld it.

Easy - Peasy!

Yup, we can do it next time your at the house if you want, or we could make another one real quick

it would almost be quicker to make new ones

That's what I was thinking too

Well, after another long hiatus and much of the project missing/gone... I'm thinking about starting back on it. I now have a source for a partially stripped (mostly interior and roof, all drivetrain is there) Miata for pretty cheap.

Maybe the wife will let me get back on this.
10th anniversary is tomorrow 2/19/15 so we will see if she gives me the green light.
