Lets See Those Custom Parts v.2023
Seems like the general group here is a bunch of makers and builders, here's a place to show off things you made not bought. Or maybe you have a killer idea and a napkin sketch for another maker to run with.
I'll start with something I think I need. I posted yesterday about bending a rear ohlin shock shaft. To reduce at least one source of bending load I'm going to make a coaxial spring perch. I measured a few things on the shock yesterday and replacing the lower spacer with a perch I can retain the boot keeper and will use up the excess thread between top bolt and adjuster. If I need a little more space, I can also remake the centering spacer shorter since its excessively tall.
Simple, but should work perfect.

The only time I've heard the term coaxial is when referring to cable. What is this perch going to do?

This perch is fixed to the shaft and not the top hat. Basically doing the same thing as in the front.
Another more expensive option is the hyperco hydraulic spring perch but theyre much more expensive. That would allow tilt compensation but my way just fixes the spring faces to stay parallel.

I'll post pics in a couple days after printing it.

Gotcha. I didn't notice that when I put my R/T's together, but definitely a good idea.

Dallas, are you going to be offering those for sale?
I'd like to see a small wish list of what people would like to see made. I don't have the know how or tools to make my own parts... Smaller brackets, and modifying stuff I can do.
As I mentioned, a well thought out ACD relocation kit, aluminum rear trans mount, front mount oil cooler/PS kit, are what I am presently in the market for lol

I would buy that. I'm sure it will be less expensive than potentially replacing a shaft.

Well, it's not much.. but I made my own sway bar end links. And I have a cardboard version of a heat shield for my air filter that uses the OEM air scoop. I just have to fab it together. Yes, someone probably makes and sells them, but this one is mine LOL.
$180x4 for Hyperco spring perches? Or x8, if you wanna go crazy. Dayum.

there is enough articulation for coaxial rear spring perches if you do it right.
I used a pair of these, pretty cheap:
