    OEM boxed Watts link

    Pleased with the results, boxing (welding two together)the lower control arms, I am going to attemped this mod on the Watts link arm(s).
    A big thanks to Marc (shakes26) for donating and shipping the take off parts from his Marauder.
    I was looking to get another pair of lower control arms for the Wifes' GMQ, which Marc supplied me with, as well as,
    the Watts link and upper control arms.
    Thanks Marc!!!
    The cost of the new OEM Watts link was $80.00 it included the center pivot.

    I will post come pics as soon as I find acess to a press.
    Now that I have a few pairs of OEM uppers, I will try a boxed set of uppers Too.
    This is a result of ordering the Limo uppers(billet aluminum)and getting the OEM type.
    I have not seen/heard of anyone doing the upper control arms or the Watts link arms in a boxed form.
    If this is so, this may be new traveled territory.
    Stay tuned.

    Custom boxed Links Installed

    The custom boxed Watts links are installed.
    Yes, I took pics.
    They still won't load for me.
    I love it!
    Car is flat as kan- bee
    They are a PITA to install.
    The pinion yoke on the drive shaft causes the use of a pry bar to r&r the bolts on the drivers side.
    The passenger side bolts required some finess around the air ride pillows.
    Glad I had my pals @ Mieneke in Crystal Lake, to do the install!
    I have been layed up for a few days, with a sore back.
    No one corrected me yet, Do I have the first set of boxed sway links ?
    Marty, can I send you a few shots?

    Bradley - are you trying to load them into this thread or in the Gallery? If they're the size of the last set you sent to Marty, they're WAY too big. Send them to me, I'll resize and send back to you for either the thread or the Gallery. marauder03@comcast.net If they're small enough, Marty doesn't need to host them, the Gallery will do just fine.

    Exclamation Pics sent

    Either way, But I like them in the thread.
    I tried to lower the resolution setting on the camera.
    That did not seem to help, enough, loading time was lenghty.
    Thanks for helping out, Mary!
