• 1/4" thick qquare square tubing makes it much easier to machine
• M8's all around
• Easy to vice for manufacturing
• Some tolerancing already built in
• Can probably get away with less thickness, just concerned abotu about tear out failure

Tie Rod

Currently finding tube stock that a) isn't overkill or b) has the right ID for an M8 thread is difficult. Especially because it has to fit our M8 rod ends.

Steering Arm

• To be CNC'ed from 7075 Aluminum
• M8 shoulder bolt (8mm shoulder diameter) to be used to attach clevis end to ball joint rod end on tie rod
• 2x M6 bolts for attaching to the upright
• Currently the geometry may make it difficult to manufacture. I.e. for one face to lie flat on the upright face, it needs to be on a slight angle

Fastening

M8's almost everywhere except for the steering arm mount and the rack(imperial).
