I like how this cage mounts in the door area, seams to reinforce the door opening better than most cages, Dave

I started building the strait bell crank for the rear suspension. I have not completed it but here is the process so far:

Started out with a 1/8" piece of strait bar:

cut two sections out:

tacked two corners together so I can line up my holes exactly:

I then cut the centers to mount to the center tube.

Then installed the hole reinforcements:

Thats as far as I have made it, Ill try to finish up this bell crank tomorrow.

the long bellcrank is 8.5" from center hole to center hole

The centers of the two bell cranks are 6" apart and will be vertically adjustable 6" using some serrated mount set up action:
