I am getting close. Everything is done but the inner bearing housing. Starting to cut them this weekend hopefully.

Outers/Inners are 7075-T651 with FK Com12T-F1 spherical bearings. All bushings are 4340 which along with fasteners I will nickel/cobalt plate and relief bake. The outers are modeled directly from stock 996 GT3 arms incorporating spherical bearings with one additional stiffening rib on the under side between the thrust bushing and bearing bore. Outers will be hard anodized black with the inners hard anodized red and blue.

Outers incorporate 14mm hardware.

Shims are hard anodized 6061 aluminum.

Thrust bushings are hard anodized red/blue and have 1/4" drive holes to use to rotate the bushings for caster adjustment.

Some pics.
