Who has the plans for alignment saver
I found a nice plan for alignment savers that added the anti dive angle and mounting of the upper control arms in Terry's (tcrist) gallery. I downloaded them, but can't up load images on my threads for some reason. I gave them to a shop to see if they could build a set, but the image isn't high enough resolution to get read the numbers. Does anyone have an old email or good copy of the plans? He had some others there too I'd like to get. If you can help me out, PM me for an email address.
here is the link. alignment_saver_2_ - Club Cobra Photo Gallery |
The bolts have a 5” center
I’m going 1” up no added antidive I have coming from Online Metals some 2” x 2” x 3/8” angle All you have to do is cut it 7” long and drill some holes With a small 45 degree get rid of the sharp corner cut on the top corners it matches the rest of the rectangular frame The plans look like over engineering to me If my wheels fly off you know what happened Party On Happy 4th of July!!!

The front a-arm bushings are 10 1/2” apart the rear are 10” apart
You have antidive It should be 4 degrees don’t add more with the brackets This little sweetie has to much already The more the a- dive the rougher the ride Party On Wyatt |

So the brackets should be built with the same height for the front and rear holes for the a-arms. or use the brackets to reduce anti dive by swapping sides |
The angle brackets cost me $17.00 for 4
Go with the flat and see what happens I can make more I think the front end is good and hooking up the rear tires is my focus As soon as I get the Lounge painted I’ll post the chassis photos and cowl info too I can join the FourEyes Forum now... Life’s Good, Pass It On Wyatt |
If you already have a set, I can PayPal you.. otherwise I will have some made up. No rush as this will be a winter project
|
No prob I can send you some send me a check if you like em
I’m headed out for some argon and alignment shims I’m going to tack it in without bracket to chassis bolts If it’s all good weld them permanently so the arm can be lower and lay on chassis like it does now Party On Wyatt |

Working on them now:)
Went to a local steel supply and Farmtruck, AZN, MurderNova all the 405 get steel there too I’ve got some pix soon as I get all this stuff chopped, chromed and toasted |
Please add me to the list also

It’s a lots of cars n partying people 632 BB Chevy sure is cool Let’s see... tubbed 6 point cage Classic, BB Chev Got EVERYTHING I need rounded up for the chassis brackets front and rear Oop gotta go my rides here.... |
I have a set I purchased from Tcrist and had them powdercoated black back when he was an active member here. Never used them. For a nice bottle of scotch I'd let them go. No anti dive because the MII already has that. No need to add more. Tcrist had a fab shop. He also made me some nice polished ss shin blasters aka bumper jacks. I think he has since retired and let his cobra go. Haven't heard from him in a long time.
Re the alignment savers, every specialty alignment shop I have brought them to said there was too little to be gained and installing was unnecessary. John |

Update on the alignment savers
I talked to Tom Beroth today about the alignment savers and here is what I learned The 3/4” x 1” flat smooth a arm bars like mine (RCCs) need them Fat arm bars with bigger bolt narley factory type contact surface probably not If you use them DO ADD, Repeat, DO ADD anti-dive with taller mount hole The horizontal planes of the CR a arm centerlines are close to stock The distance between a arm bolts are different due to unequal sideways arm shift The vertical side can go towards engine or towards the shock mount Align the front end without them and then determine where they fit Use the Mustang II arm bolts from Summit Wear a hat out on the water or your sunglasses will give you raccoon face tan Party On Wyatt |
Sunman, I have the plans that are high enough res to read. I've given them to a local fabricator who is going to price out a set and also a price on multiples. He's doing the same for a set of brackets from the upper and lower rear control arm conversion from a set of drawings I got. I'll start a thread on a bulk buy.
What do you mean by RCC upper control arms? I assume that's a manufacturer, but can't find any details with a google search |
RCCs were made in Ft Worth and are only 3/4” x 1” aluminum bar stock
They are smooth and slide around The bigger factory style arms like Heidts don’t move around I’ve got my Speedway shock mounts cut down to 1 1/4” on top and 1/2” on the bottom to align the shock to the 5/8” mount bolt The cantilever bolt mount is used on the Heidts Super Ride it’s good enough for me, photo in gallery I’m putting QA1 5/8” spherical bearings in my AVO shocks Pro Shock that are the same is ASB/SR5AB58 add a P if ya want polished I’m waiting on bolts for the savers I’m making and bearings to compleat the rear mounts I’m welding up the Quad Shock mounts as I wait, FFR guys use them Upper control arm I’m going Team Z Street Beast relocate setup Building my lowers using Team Z parts to match the upper Party On Wyatt |
