Holy Crap, I didn't even notice that until you said something.

I want to know too.
That'd be a rod from a marine genset - Diahatsu PS-26 - pretty small for what I usually work on...

Try these on for size :grin:

7k80MC-c container ship motor (2-stroke heavy fuel) The first one is the rod and crosshead - next is a little cam chain... the cylinder head and finally the liner top... It's fun stuff

Those rims look great! Do you have any pics of the lengthened axle control arms? Also how much did you lenghten them?
I cut another set of control arms offset and spliced them back together with a section of 3/4" round bar as a gusset...

The factory are is 21" centerline and I made these 23" centerline netting 4" of spread...

Remade the drivelines using two t-case to rear axle drivelines and I am working on getting some longer springs made just to round it off properly but there has been no issues so far with 400+ miles on the conversion...
