Building An A arm Jig For The Busa Rail 

Νice job..! Bravo..! It would be great at the final video , to show us how the buggy used to look and roll and how will it look and roll when it i'll be finished!! :)

You explained yourself very well, and showed the video and it was awesome.

Ah.... The joys and long hours of fabrication... Cool idea!

As always I enjoy the videos! I too am building a sand rail, and you have given me a lot of good ideas and motivation. Keep it up!!

Turns out I should be able to get the same travel with the shorter arms using the bigger wheels, plus the new setup will be a stonger design, should be interesting

Ahhh,,, coffee and a Groutaone video along with no school. I like your jig. I gotta figure one up for making expansion chambers. I think I'll make a pipe for a CR500 if you catch ma drift ;) ;) (it'll be a while until I get the metal though lol)

Awesome video buddy! That jig is going to work sweet! Keep the video's coming

Awesome! Great looking jig! Looks like it will work well! I would enjoy making something like this!

One of the big things in the way for long travel before was the small wheels, the only way I could dig up tons of travel was to go wide, however by adding more than tripple the horspower I can use a much larger wheel which adds to the travel available but now I also need a stronger A-arm because of the power, wheel size and weight increasing, I enjoy this, its like a big box of Lego ha ha

That was pretty cool.

INGENIOUS...Mr G!

i'm making one of these this weekend....excellent idea!

This is cool! Very handy:)

The top arm may not change much from whats in the video but the bottom one will get a lot of support as it has to hold the shock load, hope to show more soon

cool as all-ways buddy!

thanks, getting to be more fun to work on all the time

That is a gorgeous piece of work.Did you go to school for engineering?

Thanks so far so good, I may put the jig to use this weekend

Love your vids mate, keep it up..

I wish I had half your fabrication skills..

Awesome love your work keepm coming :)

Thanks man, will do

Thanks

thanks

I can't wait to see this thing run !!!!!!!!!

Thanks, hope to show the rear suspension nearly complete soon

have you ever tried a Center Drill Countersink they sem to work great for keeping the large bits from walking around

I really enjoyed your comment, if somehow we could slip in that music they always play with that wildlife show comercial ha ha, thanks man

What size are your Heim joints? Your videos are great! Keep up the great work!

Mantap bang..🙏😊👍

Yes it does have that look, my Firebird four link has this setup for rear end centering. What kind of project were you thinking of working on?

thanks, your pipe project sounds interesting, let me know if you get some vids up when your up to there

Thanks will do

well your pretty smart haha nice video as always.

Thanks, its a bit of extra time to make but in the long run Id be way ahead I think

Thanks man

That's pretty smart idea you got there bud even if you climb hills or break something you can have build one in the matter of minutes and be back out there in a heartbeat ehh

Nice engineering.

I'm not working on it now so thats why there's no new videos, winter project though

The back has removable bolts like the front, when finished the A arm slides forward for removal

Thanks for having a look see

these arms look about a foot shorter than the first ones you made i was wondering what the old arms would have looked like on the buggy for ground clearance and suspension travel but i thinki the shorter arms would be better with the busa engine

Thanks for having a look-see

nice.

Thanks, I may use your idea

thanks, 3/4 inch

great work buddy , i see you can make a nice jig :) but can you dance one ???????

Groutaone! I'm not resorting to watching these old long travel suspension build vids. When will you get some new ones up for us? I have a 750 nitehawk and my club car golf cart that I want to combined plus a long travel kit!! I'm in Ontario if you need help anytime!

I took a mechanics class in high school, other than that its just learn by doing I guess, its stuff Iam interested in so I have always wanted to learn and still do

What size tubing do you use for your "A" arms?

what metric are does rod ends? I need some dimensions Thanks!

Might be a plan

Well thanks for that, not everything I make would get that response from you though ha ha, I learn by trying I guess

i would of used plywood for the jig, but dam very nice man

Are you using 4130 (chromoly) tube or DOM? What size is it you are using?

I'am a lucky guy to have a great bunch of viewers

Hello! What the ball joint name ? Where I can find the? Tq

how do you know so much about bikes and cars. did you go to school or something?

Well thank you kindly, no fancy schoolin, just armed with my imagination and a welder ha ha

Thanks, got some more stuff brewing ha ha

A mystery puzzle box of Lego ha ha

Wouldnt hurt to have a few spares ha ha

Just some practice, you'll get the hang of it

The rod ends on the outboard points are in bending. Not a good engineering decision. they may bend under extreme loads.

Here I am using 1-1/4 .120 DOM

when you weld the A arm you won't get it of because the front has to slide of the tube bud it can't because the back part is stuck

Well dance Idk but if I had to I'am thinkin it would have to be the jig

Oh I think pilots will be easy to find heh heh

This is D.O.M. 1-1/4 .120

what size heim joints do you use

So are you going to find someone to pilot the busa rig while your on your 500 so that your wife can video tape the race? That would be epic...

Some guys play golf, go figure huh?

:)
