Side Steps

[CAB]

Looking for side step mounts that attach to rear radius rods.

Here's one idea . . .

Thanks Spanky...that's the one I saw. Any idea where I could get a set?

They look professional but made by a guy that has access to a mill!

I am guilty of those steps.....I did build them and yes I have a mill and no I do not build them for sale.....That one is on the passenger side for my short legged wife....it works very well........

They are nice looking....would work well on a channeled car. If you ever decide to sell them I'll take a pair

I think I would build a set that would attach to the frame and not put side load on the radius rods. Bet Ron Pope could come up with a design.

Ron designed my front shock mounts a few years ago....I will reach out to him.

There is no side load cause they are very close to the end. I had that same thought, but after I made them they worked very well. You need to understand my wife is a robust 110 lbs soaking wet.....

And how much do you weigh?
I know that it will hold you up-- no problem!!

 

[Neshkoro]

Thats the problem when you have that kind of equipment. You become a popular guy! They look nice!

Smart Thinking!

I was probably going to make up a set like this for my car since i'm creating a dirt track inspired car. It wouldn't let me post a photo because i don't have enough posts yet. The setup has 3 bars welded to the hairpin and the other end of those 3 bars come together and are welded. 2 bars are attached on the parallel bars of the hairpin and the third attaches at the front of the hairpin. I also welded in some plate steel for webbing in the rear hairpins so the side loaded shouldn't be a big worry as i don't plan to jump on the furthest point out haha. send me a message and i can send the pic.

Why not post a pic here so we can make sense of your text above ?

The site won't let me post photos yet, i said that in my post. Lincolnut is helping me out though and is going to post the photos that I emailed to him.

The photo of the light blue Gafco Special sprint car is what I was describing. The other photos show the same idea but attached to the frame.

 

[lincolnuT]

It appears that you sent me two of the same car I will go back and see if the other one is in mail....

 

[lincolnuT]

I found the other one,,,,,,,,,,,

Thanks Lincolnut! Hopefully these give CAB some ideas. My build is inspired by these old dirt track cars so thats why i was going to go this route but it may not have the right look on a T-Bucket especially since it looks like a alot of folks run low side exhaust.

Appreciate all the input....still trying to figure it out.
