I'm at the point where I need to build a 4 link for the rear of my Ranger Splash. I'm wondering what people have used to do this. Pics would be good if you've got 'em.
I'm experimenting with a couple different link bars. I have some styrene rod that is hollow in the middle. I'm cutting it into short pieces to be like the end bushings and glueing it to the ends of pieces of brass rod. They look OK but I don't know how well the super glue is going to hold. I've also done the same thing using the styrene rod for the bars too. I'll try to post some pics tonight.
It looks like the hard part is going to be making all the little brackets for the axle and frame. I want it to be somewhat realistic. I don't want to use thick ass sheet for the brackets. Gotta search around the house for a suitable material for this.
The Splash is comming along well. I modified the I beams up front to lay the big wheels. Talk about DROP beams! I modified the frame for the stock floor b/d and made a new low pro tranny crossmember. Here's a quick pic.
Oh, does anyone know of a putty that you can use to stick parts together to mock them up?
