Making Custom UCA's for my 92
Ok so i have looked at all the crap UCA's out there and i want to have some custom arms machined. I have access to all the tools but i am trying to find out the diameter of the shaft on the ball joint on the UCA. Can anyone help? I was also hoping to find out what size the ID was on the bushing cup as i already have the diazen bushing kit i was going to install in my old UCA until the ball joints went out. Any help would be great i will post pictures of my finished units.

Why not just sell the busing kit and order a new set of UCA's?
Unless you have some serious fabrication skills and/or are an engineer who can run something through solidworks or CAD which you can then input into a 5-axis or something.... That's probably not something I would do.
I've got 12 years building race cars and I can assure you, it's not as simple as you might think.
Oh and to get the taper perfect, it's best to take a mold of the UBJ cup with dental amalgam or something similar.
