Soldering the anti roll bar

[jon burrows]

Theres gotta be an easier way (but it did work though)
how do you solder the metal ball coupler to the wire?

It's been a long time since I have built one but I remember dreading it. One problem you might have had is that your pliers were acting as heat sinks which may have slowed your progress.

I remember drilling a hole in a piece of hardwood for the ball end and CA'ing two pieces of balsa vertically for the wire to slide between.

Heating the solder wasn't a problem, although it was not a good idea to solder on the dining room table but my only opportunity was during dinner.

Thats a great idea civilguy, can I get that sketch in .dwg format?

I was actually detailing a bridge survey for a client and just sketched that off to the side. Sorry I didn't save it.
