I often get asked what I'm working on lately in the shop, well here's a preview of a few of the parts in the pipeline. These are ready to go from prototype stage to full production:
- Fabricated crossmember. Unfortunately a decent crossmember is just about impossible to come by these days. The OEM units tend to crack where the control arms bolt on and a replacement replacement from the aftermarket is poor quality. Our solution is to reproduce a stronger unit. While we're at it, we give you the choice of moving the control arm mounting points, for use with lowered cars. Its even designed to bolt on a steering rack!
- Wide sump oil pan. How many times have you heard of people destroying their oil pans and pickup tubes? Our oil pan is not only wider but nearly 1.5" shorter for more ground clearance.
- Tubular control arms. Finally ready for full scale production.
- All aluminum cam pulleys. It is increasingly difficult to make cam pulleys from OEM cores. We figure, why bother, we can make our own from scratch.
- Coil over suspension, see #3.
- Hydraulic throw out bearing conversion kit. A necessity for changing clutch feel on high clamp pressure clutches.
Of course there are more projects but these are nearest to becoming off the shelf products.
These are great! When will the crossmember and tubular control arms be available for sale?
ETA’s are difficult.. the designs have been sent out for laser cutting and I should get them in a week or two. Finding time to weld them up is a whole different can of worms.
Hi Jason,
I recently purchased a 1972 124 Sport Coupe. I have decided to do a full restore with mods, including a rack. Based on info from turbo124.com, I thought I was going to have to fashion one from a 131 rack and weld brackets to my coupes crossmember. This is great news. Do you have any more information? I will definitely purchase one as soon as they are available.
Hi Jason, I saw the short desription of a wide oil pan. Are you making one? If it holds more oil I am definately interested.
I had my flywheel lightened by you. Man, what a difference! Made the car a lot more fun to drive and made it feel less like a tired old sedan. Thanks.
