Title: Drag link arm ??
Post by: ccreech5464 on September 15, 2013, 10:52:57 pm
I'm referring to the arm that is welded to the spindle that gets connected to the pitman arm. I was wondering if I could get some pics to see how it's set up and how you mad it I've looked at the one on the ec spindles and it looks a little complicated to make so was wondering if there were other options .

nope.  Didn't even bend when I hit the hey bale twice in one race. Bent a lot of other stuff but not the drag link
