AWESOME SOLUTION to the C5/6 UCA! That is exactly where I was "stumped" - just today, in fact. My Howe gm K6141s were about to get sent back - but not now.
I've pressed (not Pounded) the Uppers out and cleaned up the uprights. My plan for lowers is straight forward - but that damn upper ball joint was the bugger!
You've done the deed!
Coleman Racing makes a steel/weldable Spindle Eye/Taper, but mixed metals might not be as sweet as using aluminum. Have you considered making a small run of those in aluminum? I'd be in for a pair. There would be a nice niche market I'd think.
Again - Nice solution. Thanks for sharing that.
Cheers - Jim
BTW that is a BAAD 914!
