Front Suspension Detail1.jpg
I am ready to build the suspension but my plans call for tubing in metric diameter (I am using the Saturn Sports Cars build manual modifying the Haynes roadster to use a Miata). Does anyone have another set of plans for building the suspension that uses imperial measure? Also what thickness have you used?
Does anyone have any advice about cutting the semi-circular notches in the tubing like those labeled A in the attached photo? I'd rather not free-hand this.
And finally, several of the suspension tubes must have inside threads also as labeled A in the attached Photo. Is there special tubing for this or inserts that one welds into the tube?
And finally does someone have a source for the tubular fitting with a threaded rod attaches as labeled A in the attached Photo?
I thought this would be easy to sort out on the internet but is has not been. I've been stalled for some time because of this and I'd really like to get back on track.
I live in Seattle WA and I'd love to talk to anyone in the Seattle area who has built a car.
