I'll have to see what the total cost is when it's all done. The aluminum billet costs about $45. Spherical rod ends are about $22 each + shipping, the tubes are $13 plus shipping. High quality fasteners & related hardware add up to about $40 or so. The center bracket and welding the strut rods I could probably do as a kit, you could buy all the rest yourself if you want. I don't know how much time I'll end up spending on the mill to get the bracket made up since I haven't done one yet. I have the aluminum block but I haven't started making any chips yet. |
