Thanks for that website. They had all the descriptions of their fasteners, but no equations or anything that could help lead me. I figured the last thread or 2 that doesn't get threaded would be the weakest point. Is it safe to take the cross sectional area of that threaded part and find the stress by F/A and if that is less than the stress allowable then that should be good?

Hey guys, I am working an internship and my project now is to design a rear lower control arm for a vehicle. The chromoly tubing has to withstand 6000lbs of compressive force. The length from bolt to bolt is 18.43". Column Design: I did Euler and JB Johnson column buckling equations and when solving for OD-ID I just assumed the more common 1-3/8" and 1-1/2" OD for control arm tubing. I get a little different answers from each way, but figure a wall thickness of .120" Threads Design: Then I have to figure out a thread callout, for the bung (12L14 material), to tap the inside of this tubing and still be able to withstand the force. I have been doing some calculations with 1-3/8" x 12 UNF thread. I haven't had any Design classes yet with threads so I'm not sure how to really go about this. I need to make sure the thread with withstand the force, and when the tubing is tapped, that it will not weaken the tubing to fail. Any help will help, whether it be links, equations for threads and forces, or just time taken out to help! Thanks, Joe

MILF Madonna Eva Mendes or Eva Longoria?

J Lo (that other b!tch is nasty) Drew Carey or Bob Barker?

IMAX Saturday night after I go see a Red Sox vs. Angels game!

depends if its like J Lo big butt or like Mo'Nique big butt,.... but if it's J Lo type nice butt then butt over chest. nitrous or blown?

Cars Corvette zo6 or Mustang Shelby gt500?

Beautiful car man! Very photogenic!

I'd recommend the 650, mainly because once you start riding, you'll want the speed. Kinda like turbo and boost. Bikes are fun, and you'll always want to open it up a bit.

Sorry bout your Z. I've got a bumper from an early 260 if you can't find any close to you.

Those are Rota RB's right? Whats the sizing? Car looks great!

Hey guys, Just sharing some pics I took today from the Pismo Beach Classic. Towards the end is a special vehicle from the GM tent!! http://picasaweb.google.com/CloutierJoe/PismoBeachClassicJune212008

Boston has the best sports teams! I'm proud to have suffered the first 18 years of my life waiting for all these titles!

Is this "metal bond" the Maxim by Evercoat?

Found These: http://www.amazon.com/Weld-Bond-Metal-Adhesive/dp/B000HB0LLU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1212948545&sr=8-2 http://www.eastwoodco.com/jump.jsp?itemID=15331&itemType=PRODUCT I think the top one by SEM looks pretty good.

Has anyone used another location to get this done? I searched on their site and found they are part of a company http://www.gastankrenu.com and looks like they have locations all over the US. I live in CA and a shipping cost to PA would suck, but it seems a couple of places are located in CA. Should be able to get the same stuff done right?

WOW, that is crazy. Looks like with some aerodynamics modifications it should be even faster!

I haven't driven it much on the street before I took out the engine, but one guy slowed down to my speed and asked what year, then said he had a 75 and gave a thumbs up. Then another guy was walkin by my house when I had the garage up and ws working on it and asked if I mind to have a look. Of course I said I don't mind and he walked around and told me about his 240 he had a long time ago.

just saw a preview for Otis on tv and think I saw a rear of a Z

Ya very clean, but aggressive. Good Job. Did you do the engine bay? I only ask because I'm about to venture on that.

Wow, nice car! I hope to have a Skyline someday. Is it true that the air over in Japan affects the cars more than in the States, thus a high mileage car there would be in the low 100's vs the States high mileage of like almost 200?

Awesome car man! I've always loved that style SE-R. I had a 2003 SE-R Spec V, and had to sell it when I moved across country to college. Back then they were just getting turbo kits to work with that engine, and now I check back to thevboard.com and many people are running turbo's and I am very jealous. I only had it up to 177whp, but it was still the fastest in my school, well drivers race with a Mustang GT, but you know who the better driver was Such a fun car, and handled great!

Beautiful cars! Nice collection!

Very nice garage. Do you go to many Corvette meets or shows out there? My Dad lives in Bradenton and has been going to shows all around FL with a 72 Stringray convertible 454 Warbonnet Yellow Vette. Going to get judged this year in Orlando.
