ball joint bolts

[vetteman1355]

Hi Mark,

It might be possible to drill the joint to 1/2" but there would be not be enough room for the bolt head or nut, I think maybe I will have to machine a counter sunk head cap screw into a shoulder bolt and re thread to maybe 3/8" or 10 mm
Another idea would be to machine up some step washers that maybe the easiest answer !!

That's a cracking idea make up a top hat bush that resizes the holes on the wishbone use them underneath though so they don't jack up the ball joint...

a short m10 bolt should be fine if your bottom arms are right
the maxi joint would have a imp hole that is a little bigger than 10mm 7/16 clearince hole i think
i have 3ge plates in mine and there is a very tiny amount of wiggle with two m10's just pushed in the holes so thats what im using

Hello Nigel,

Apologies Nigel, have just seen this one - been away from the computer a lot recently. Just looked through the invoices and i see that this was dispatched in June last year about the time when i was changing cnc parts supplier. All the cnc parts including these have been made from the same dxf files that i have supplied to both laser profilers that we use. Have checked the latest batch we have and they are all fine.

In other words not sure what has happened there, if you need another set sending over its not a problem just let me know.

Regards....Andrew
