So I just found out yesterday my college has a machine shop where you can use any of their materials at no cost to you. Too bad it's my second to last week here though. If anyone even has the hint they have access to one, I highly sugguest you look into it, you can almost make an endless amount of things in there.
Anyway, I decided to make some diff drop spacers using a 2 1/4" puck of steel with a hole in the center and a 1" to 7/8" taper.

milling the taper


Done!




Now to see how fast I can get some heim joints shipped to me and make an adjustable panhard bar...
