very well done, answered alot of questions and with a look at exactly what you are talking about thank you for taking the time out to make this series of videos
Positioning the joint between the lower control arm tubes and the ball joint sleeve so that the center of the sleeve is colinear with the centerline of the tubes would provide more of a perpendicular surface area for welding the joint... I will certainly consider this approach if additional strength is required. Thanks for the idea!
I cut down and adapted the front struts from a 1st gen RX7. The thread-in ball joint is from a Mustang II set up, using a 7 degree taper. You can read about it on my website.
To find my website, search for "sevenesque" (I can't put a link in the comments here). I completely modified the rx7 _struts_ and turned them into uprights. Using a 7 degree reamer, I machined a new taper into both the bottom and top of the customized uprights to fit MII ball joints. If I had to do it all over again, I would just buy the uprights, brakes, ball joints, etc. from a Mustang II set up ( from a company like Speedway Motors, for example).
What Can you help me? I want to do improvised car, and I need a message of what is and what to start, I have a distillery, and everything else, I just need to designer frames, thank her I understood

Going to get back into the Locost scene soon... Can't wait
I'm very grateful for your videos, lots of good information
THANK YOU,, THANK YOU for simplifying !

Thanks for the insight, Jim!

great video, no fluff just the facts. How are you going to mount the upper and lower ball joints to the king pin?
The centreline of the tube should have met the centre node of the ball joint sleeve for added strength.
wonderful video to coll students.

This is helping me somewhat but I wanted to do a swing arm type for the rear and maybe eclipse Coilovers all around?
What spindle or steering knuckle did you use? And which ball joint did you use?
what is your website, i'm having trouble finding it to read ore on it. so the ball joints taper matches that from the rx7?

Was the design from "build your own sports car for as little as £250"?
