Yeah they look good except for the heim joints a clevis joint set up is much stronger and better, heim joints are designed for movement like on a carb linkage.

Won't fit your car Macca...

and there are far better ways of doing it

Nah, not interested for my car, just thought they may be a good thing for the beetles with air cooled power plants.

VWCOOL · 30 Apr 2006, 10:14 pm

Yeah, kinda, but again there are better ways of doing it!

That's one hint...

If you setup the heim joint in double sheer they should be just as reliable as a clevis pin setup.
