Old member new build

Repairing the torque arm. Bought 1 inch solid steel bar inserted it 14 inches into the torque arm tube. Then hammered the broken pieces onto the other end checking alignment. Then tack welded it together cutting a grove into it for maximum penetration. Taking it to a friend to be tig welded tomorrow.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6afff11a1d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...46bf5d64c7.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...64f140e37e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e3fd396b71.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...54696c2a65.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f2c7bd6cb0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c33c22c199.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...288b7aa65d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4f1ca9e0bb.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c6e92157d1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5b314d82ba.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4fabfeb2dc.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2a93d003d5.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a32741cbc3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c83ea0cacb.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2ff2040fe7.jpg

Man, I know it's probably an old part, but did you talk to Spohn about that? I feel like a critical component like that shouldn't have failed like it did.

I emailed them no response. Had to buy the adjuster screw from them. They shipped it out right away but never responded to my email. I did a lot of reading it seems they do not stand behind this product with this issue. If you google spohn torque arm failure in google images there are a ton of pics with the same break. Costed about 100 bucks to fix it and make it stronger.

Well after a few test hits everything is good to go. Ran into a fuel pressure issue so swapped in a aeromotive 340 e85 friendly pump. Got a few little things to do and will be loading up for a test and tune track night asap.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c465650d52.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...aac4b49f4c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...377a1ab83d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e1f65e8634.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...481484651d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...25d26b7171.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...24e59f70b3.jpg

Well not much has happened with the car, I had some oil psi issues with a wot drop. So pulled the motor found a good bit of wear to the thrust bearing. So I got a canton pan from a friend and was getting ready to send it to the machine shop for a once over. Then I break my femur. I now have 2 rods in my right leg going up from knee to hip then one hip to pelvis. So this will be the end of this project for a good while. Hope to get back started on it just before the new year. Added a pic of the 99 jeep tj we just bought for my wife.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1d7125855e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7a083267b9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...91076cd99d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6f5521f4bc.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...35d60a6d2a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...45db4f6188.jpg
