Re: Project "Ghost" - 1972 C10 Pro-touring

I'm stuck waiting on a new inner tie rod. My brand new Moog unit stripped the threads tightening to 30lb.ft so that was nice . . .

Then I need to figure out how to give myself clearance on the sway bar mounts that contact the wheels at full turn. May need to fab up some steering stops.

In the meantime, I finally got my hardened print head for my 3d printer, and printed my hose separators in Nylon/Carbon. These things are TOUGH. Way tougher than they need to be, but wanted to check out the material. They're only 20% infill, so these are 80% air on the inside, and I'm not sure I could snap them in half by hand. They'll also withstand 150*C continuous, and 180*C peak temps.
