    I'm in the process of making a parts list to make myself a set of pivot strut rods but I'm still figuring out each potential problem and my current one is the size of the strut rod hole where the bushings go... my car is a daily driver so I can't just pull one off and measure it. I guess I could go to a junk yard if I ever get time. I'll do that if I can't get a answer here. Thank you.

    That would be awesome. I work in tempe on elliot and priest, I'm sure I could find time after work to come by sometime. so the 1-1/4" pipe fit right in snugly? Another thing is where to get those clevis's, did you order them from the company listed or did you fab up something else? thank you.

    Yep, the 1 1/4" worked perfect in mine. And yes I did order the clevis from the company he suggested. That part actually worked better for me than it did for him. The heim joints that I used fit right in there without any grinding in the inside like he did. I will e-mail you my contact info so just give me a call before you start driving out here to make sure that I'm around.

    Did you use all the parts that he suggested? what parts did you use? hows it holding up? I was abit concerned about using 5/8" strut rod and heim joint threads... I was just looking at the map on google... man your way up there, oppposite corner of the city... I'll have to see how I feel after work tomarrow. Thank you.
