Current Projects

["tmpintnl" <tobyp@xxxx>]

Hello List - I thought that a quick update of current design projects 
was in order. The new Trailing Arm Bolts (TOBY-TAB's) are in 
production, and should be ready for shipping in the very near 
future. I will provide details regarding ordering, etc. as soon as 
possible following receipt of the bolts from California. I have 
obtained a complete selection of sample suspension bushings (stock 
rubber) and have shipped them to a company that manufactures urethane 
bushings for a wide variety of applications. The engineering 
department there is anxious to see if they can provide the DeLorean 
community with these ultra-performance parts at a competitive price. 
The samples included the trailing arm bushing that the TAB attaches 
to. This should be interesting. I have talked to the engineering 
people at an aerospace manufacturing company about the torsion bar 
issue. We have come up with some possible strategies for development 
of a replacement torsion bar using more state-of-the-art materials. 
I am also talking on Monday with an engineering rep from another 
aerospace company based on the East coast about a possible bolt-on 
upgrade for the front lower control arm attachment, to provide a 
triangulated structural arrangement for that joint. This will help 
stabilize the front suspension geometry. That's all for now. I'll 
be in touch as these projects begin to bear fruit.
