IRS design problem

[Ant]

I have found a way to fit lugs and give my T/bird upright support each side of the lower bushings, but there is one questionable piece of engineering, I have the rod ends on the outside of the Upright mounting plate where the outer flange would be, so I am leaving that and welding a 5mm flange on the inside to make the inner flange as JBL and FFR do, but with a neat horizontal slot to match the bolt/rod end travel, you might say silly but I can still adjust camber and toe in, that will give me double sheer as the flange can't move and if I secure bolt shaft with machined washer with slot lugs, mind you I will have to change that when I do an adjustment, but its a way out of my problem,
Having said all that no one probably knows what I am talking about, I will show some photos soon!

Mr Bruce a well made single top arm which has a wide bush area can provide quite a bit of rotational control/side loading control, and help to support the bottom bearing areas, I would be very surprised to see it break even under hard circuit use. Mind you put some sticky drag slicks on it BIG BLOCK cubes and 7000rpms, and anything can happen. There is one word I have to remind myself as being a perfectionist once I recognise a so called grey area of concern is COMPROMISE, even motor manufacturers do this all the time.

I will feel better when I have made the bushes and redesigned the arms.

Thanks for listening to my problems guys - Ant
