Cobra01, let me help you out with those pics. Each one needs to go in a separate [IMG] tag.

Looking Good Cobra01
I'm hoping to be in QLD early May to Craig's new Workshop.
Will your Kit still be at AP?

Hi d8842

Early may,I wonder,I hope my Cobra will be in my garage at home.

Give me some dates of your stay in our sunny state and i will try to meet you at Craig's new workshop and we can exchange ideas or whatever.

Craig says that he is a bit under the pump at the moment so the car and bits and pieces may well be still at his workshop.

Brad

Brad, when you click the icon to add a photo, only paste one URL at a time into the little window that pops up and click OK. Then move to a new line or after the last IMG tag before adding another photo. Also if you click the "Go Advanced" button below the message window you will get a preview of how it looks before posting to the forum.

Peter, ours are custom to our requirements due to our performance requirements.

I would love to sell you some, but to be honest I think you would be better off with the commercially available units.

They are called Bushed Rod Ends.

Macdonald Bros Racing sell some very nice units, in both steel and stainless. Link attached below to them:

Rod Ends

Thanks Craig. I'm making some adjustable arms for the GTO but I'm not a fan of Rose joints on road cars.

Peter, yes, you can't beat the ease of fitment and adjustability of rod ends, the bushed rod ends give you all this plus a more compliant ride that is nice to have on a road car.

There is a sticky at the top of Aussie section, I did a run through on posting pics in there.
You can open to pages both on CC to read directions in one, and post in the other.

And yep, looks like you have it going by above pics.
