Thanks Chris. I can't take much credit though. I somewhat mirrored another design of a Watts link I had bought and visually used the pictures from Payton Kings Dead Cat Camaro to design the frame for the link. I decided I didn't want the bolt on link frame that I bought. I like these things welded in permanently. Lol.
As far as the rotating link....it uses a pair of simple bearings 1/2" wide with a 3/4" hole in the inner race. I bored a hole in a chunk of 1" plate in a boring mill. Then cut two pieces of 1/4" plate for the outside pieces longer for the links themselves. As you can see I then used 6 machine bolts to fit the outer plates to the inner....to keep the bearings in. I'll add a better picture of it if I can find one.
As far as the links.....I used tube adapters from an offroad company called Ballistic Fabrication.
Let me know if you have more questions.
