Re: Shortening Control Arms for Narrowing Track

I know about sectioning the lowers to pull them in but not the uppers (typically narrowing the lowers requires fewer shims for the uppers thus pulling them in).

Mine had the lower BJ cut out as a square section, removed the amount of material that the BJ needed to be moved inboard, & then re-welded together. The bump-stop is removed of course & the a-arm lip is trimmed significantly.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
