Are thoes rubber or poly?

They seem like some kind of rubber, but I am not a plastics person. They are pretty durable. Mine in the picture are 24 years old, and they have no tears or cracks.

Holy Moly! That is different. What does the inside hole measure at the largest point (not where the flat is)?

[firstgencrx]

Ya know, you have given me an idea. What if there was a hybrid design that was cast from polyurethane with a steel cup cast into it that received the smaller spring?

That would be interesting to try....

I do believe mine are like Devion's also.

When you make a set out of steel, are you planning on selling any?

3.453" the smaller number i originaly gave you was across to the flat side.

i wouldnt cast the steel, i just use cut scrap like he's doing, and cast the rubber on over it for a nice firm fit.... btw i have some experience casting rubber

No, sorry. I won't be making more or selling any of these. This was just a one or two thing. But I am willing to share my dimensions and how I do it.

I do. What do you need?

All my pictures got f'ed up when Comcast threatened to cut off my Internet access for using too much bandwidth. I had almost a thousand images being hosted from the personal space they gave me, way too many to move. Anywho, it came down to blow away the pictures or get kicked off line. So I remote logged in and killed the images folder.

I'm using Photobucket for some of the new stuff now, but my plan is to host all of my own through my GoDaddy account, eventually. Photobucket is not a very good deal once you price out what it costs to just buy your own web space.

I used a generic coil over 2.5 springs these are 7" long with the adjuster all the way down the car is lower then stock but could go lower.... These are on Trent car I had to try a few different adjuster callers some would not go over the weld bead at the bottom of the shock and one I used a piece of PVC pipe to fill the gape between the adjuster callers and the shock to help any movement in the caller

My $.05 worth
