Bumper Delete Part 2 Suspension Visuals $30 - Mike Mas
http://www.prowleronline.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/024095.html In This Segment As most Owners are Aware As You Might Already Know What We’ll Need This image shows my LED lighting and Fog light improvements and the Prowler's beautiful and now enhanced suspension. Working On The A Frames As we look at the images below at the untouched upper A-Frame support, we can see it has blunt edges and unsightly machined notches, which are not conducive to the beauty of the Prowlers front end.
These images shows the raw finish with machine notches and rough edges. Now Comes the Work Removing the Notch
The images above shows the support with the removed notch and beveled edges. Re-Painting your A-Frames & Steering Finishing Touches The large chrome caps shown in my image are used to cover up the big ugly bolts on the push-rod. These are actually just plastic bolt cover caps for a toilet and sell for a few bucks for two pieces. I used them on the lower push rod bolt and the upper A-Frame bolt. I enlarger the edge on the inside of the cap a bit to fit over the washer then just shot some real silicon in the piece, taped it in place and presto it was mounted. The little chrome caps on the brake line, are also sold at any Ace Hardware. While none really fit this bolt, I got some a bit bigger then used silicone caulk to hold them in place as well. Here's a few chrome goodies such as these chrome toilet bolt caps used on the upper F-Frame and lower push rod bolts and a chrome bolt covers both purchased from Ace Hardware. Painted Calipers In Conclusion In any case, while it took some work, it was enjoyable to see the results. Between the installation of the fog lights and LED turns combined with these suspension enhancements and calipers it made an amazing visual difference in the overall appearance of the suspension and my Prowlers overall look.

Looks real good and no worries about hydrogen embrittlement . My calipers came painted by last owner, look good but hard to keep clean . This message has been edited by Stroker on 06-20-2017 at 11:54 AM |

Thanks for the reply - these are pretty beefy and thick. If a guy had the time he could bore the plastic inserts out to fit the thread of the A-Frame bolt and just snap the cap on. Since these are mounted prior to any suspension advantages, things move around quite a bit down there which is why I used silicon rubber to have some give. here's the package - Mike I enlarged the end to go over the washer. This is the real metal chrome caps from Ace - I used silicon to hold this and the plastic caps. This message has been edited by Low On Cash on 06-20-2017 at 06:27 PM |
