How much did you guys pay to get your knuckles machined and tapped? Anybody get custom steering arms made? How much was that? Thanks

Also, how do you get them machined, parallel with the balljoint seat? I read somewhere perpendicular to the spindle seat... I dunno, anybody know? And if I am gonna buy some steering arms, do I have to have them first so the machinist knows where to drill? Lots of questions I know...

Just send your knuckles to Mike Monohan at www.partsmikeparts.net (http://www.partsmikeparts.net) he has TONS of experience and I believe he is still taking in knuckles for machining... at a good price...

you dont want someone trying this for the first time... the possibility of them messing up your knuckles is too great in my book.. you cant undo bad machine work

I talked to the guys at OTT here in vancouver and they said they've done it tons of times, and they're decently cheap too, so thats what I'm gonna go with. THanks anyways Todd

Glad you found a local shop to do it....
