i was going to cut a bar of aluminum, center drill it, tap it with a heavy duty 4-40 tap, have them anodized red, and screw in 2 stainless screws to it. u WOULD NOT need a reverse thread end link for this method, but it wouldnt act as a turnbuckle either, the distance would need to be exact on the first shot cause there is no adjustment on this method.

I believe he got them from one of the members here that goes by Atlas. He also sells them on ebay but can't remember his ebay I.D. right off hand. He does them in batches so sometimes he is out and sometimes has them. Search him out and drop him a pm here and see what he can do for you...

I think the rear arm mounts on this car are GPM products. I had a blue set new in the pack that look just like these. I have another set of the rear arm mounts from Atlas on the car I got from flip. Those have the center portion of the hinge pin exposed too, but are more rectangle shaped.

yeah, thinkin your right. now that I go back and look at them vs. the atlas ones they are different.Thanx for bringing that to my attention askbob.

But on the other hand Atlas makes them in aluminum if thats what you were after. If GPM is what you were after thats gonna be a little harder to find...
