    I seem to remember someone posting a site on making your own cal-tracs (for those of us too poor to buy them). I bookmarked the site, but unfortunately forgot to save my bookmarks before formatting my hard drive. Anyone got it bookmarked? Just started my welding class for the semester and they're on my list of things to make. Thanks!

    CaCollo that was my post and they aren't very hard to make but some of the tools are pricey (left handed tap) unless you work for a machine shop or sell things like that to them like I do.
    It's just as easy to have a good machine shop cut your threads for you.

    I made mine from a set of shelby under ride traction bars that I already had, Mavaholic was good enough to get me the measurements for the bell crank.
    Here's the link.

    I'm going to try to attach the drawing that dennis did for me, if you don't see it just send me your me address and I'll send it to you.

    Good luck and take care.
