Your basic frame plating, instead of plugging all the factory holes or plating over them I just cut mine to match so the space between the frame and the plate would be sealed.

Thanks space-junk, it was very sketchy at first but it has come a long way over the past 2 1/2 years. This is my first build and it has been a huge learning curve.

My first attempt at building links.
Lower links:
I used 1-1/4" Johnny Joints (18mm thru hole) at the frame, custom sleeves with cruiser bushings (18mm thru hole) at the axle, 1-1/4" ladder bar adjuster for fine tuning and a custom square insert 6" long drilled and tapped 1-1/4" left hand thread 4" deep. Tubing is 2x2x1/4" wall.

Well I got my upper link tacked in place. I ended up with about 5" of separation at the frame and about 6" at the axle. My next step will be to fit the panhard.
Reusing the Cruiser coil perch.
