Default 289 gusset suspension upgrades

Update:

Well the A-arm work has gone well. The sleeves were machined as well as the adjusting receiver so castor can be set at about 0.4 degree. Should suffice well for the majority of street use. Will post a few pics once we get parts mated back together.... Thanks to Jeff Tamplin a friend for machining SS adjusting nuts.

Also added 289 third gusset bracket to the A-arm connection points on the frame. This is the way the race cars did it and with heim-joints probably great insurance for track use and the occasion performance romp.

This way the connecting bolt passes through the std attachment point and also on the other side of the Heim-joint. Spreading the load if you will on the frame........ :cool
Sourced outside welding assistance, I did the remainder of reassembly work ........... Yup yours truly.
