| I made all the inner piviot sleeves for the irs, and started to make the inboard piviot points for the a arms but i ran out of metal. They use same techniques to make just different lenghts and hole sizes. Inner sleeves are 1/2 od x 3/8 id. I rough cut the parts out of a tube with a cutoff wheel ![Muddstir's P.O.S - Page 3 20180412](https://i.servimg.com/u/f95/17/21/15/05/20180412.jpg) Then chuck them up in lathe and tookem to size and reamed the hole to a true .375in ![Muddstir's P.O.S - Page 3 20180411](https://i.servimg.com/u/f95/17/21/15/05/20180411.jpg) Here is the finished parts. The inboard piviot points are on the right. They are 1in od x 5/8 id. The assembly in lower center is how they go together. The sleeve goes in a bronze bushing and that will be pressed in the inboard piviot point that will get welded to a arm tube ![Muddstir's P.O.S - Page 3 20180413](https://i.servimg.com/u/f95/17/21/15/05/20180413.jpg) | |

| This is looking high quality here. It's looking like you want to build something that lasts. | |

| IT'S A-ARM TIME. The upper and lower arms will be the same minus one little difference and I'll point it out later. Went to local metal supplier and got some 1in x .095 tube, needed 10 ft but got 12 ft just to be safe. ![Muddstir's P.O.S - Page 3 20180610](https://i.servimg.com/u/f72/17/21/15/05/20180610.jpg) Here are the main tubes cut out to rough length. Each a arm will have 4 tubes in it (and each tube will be a different lenght) so need 16 tubes total. ![Muddstir's P.O.S - Page 3 20180611](https://i.servimg.com/u/f72/17/21/15/05/20180611.jpg) Got the tubing notcher out and im notching the end to fit the inner pivot point. Need a total of 6 notches per a arm at two different angles. ![Muddstir's P.O.S - Page 3 20180612](https://i.servimg.com/u/f72/17/21/15/05/20180612.jpg) Here is one mocked up in my a arm welding jig that i made. All the pcs sitting around it will make the other 3 arms up. ![Muddstir's P.O.S - Page 3 20180613](https://i.servimg.com/u/f72/17/21/15/05/20180613.jpg) Here is one of the tricky pc to make. Mainly getting the lenght right. (looking right to left) had to a double notch on a tube with 1in of space between each notch in the center of the tube. Then mark the center with a stright edge and cutoff wheel it apart into 2 pcs. The the pc i need is rolled into place how it should fit. ![Muddstir's P.O.S - Page 3 20180614](https://i.servimg.com/u/f72/17/21/15/05/20180614.jpg) Now im real low on welding gas so i've been trying to find little welding jobs around the house to empty the bottle off on. I really dont want to run out half way through an a arm. | |

| That notching looks really pro. No big gaps to fill there. Are you going to MIG or TIG it? I really like that fixture you made. Pretty simple design and it looks like it will make tacking up the A arms a way simpler and easier process. Plus all four of them will be the same! | |

| Nice Jig fixture. I usually make mine out of wood and half way through the tack welding the fixture is usually on fire, LOL. | |

| Well you all can guess that I'm not going to make it.
Kinda got stuck in a predicament this past summer. In June or July I picked up a Yamaha r6. Then I thought hey that would make a killer power plant for this rig, but u all know what that means I'd be DQ'ed. So I started to think do I go with my original plans and not be as happy or build it with the new acquired pc of awesomeness. Well I'm a firm believer that u don't cut corners on your projects, so motor it is. Well then fall came and I got an offer on my old house and I couldn't pass it up. Then I had to move rest of my junk out of that house and I realized man I got a lot of projects. I got to say one thing I bought a 07 Kawasaki vulcan 900 years back and I've been trying to sell it and I couldn't get any reasonable offer out of it. 3300ish miles and only 2grand So now I think I got two motors to choose from. So long story short I put it on the back burner.
So the troy bilt pos is still going to happen, just want to get a couple other things warped up first. | |

| Too bad you are not going to make it, but I 100% agree with you about cutting corners and make the thing the way you want it!
Fabrication is very good to this point. I see it only getting better! | |
