Default homemade torque arm kit

How much would people be willing to pay for a torque arm(similar to the spohn)? with how expensive they are i think i could make them affordable. It will not be mounted to the transmission tail shaft housing and will have a driveshaft loop and pinion angle adjustments on it.





i'm not trying to advertise on here i am just trying to get an idea of interest for this kind of thing. if this comes together i will become a supporting vendor for the site.

You might as well consider making a whole line of products. With the money it would take for the insurance policy, you would need to have a lot more revenue to make it worth while. When it comes to sales you can't do everything- sell and build, and tend shop. You might as well have a reputable fabrication shop build all the parts for you and YOU spend time selling. I have a similar plan. However, I will sell everything. Electric water pumps, polished parts, YOU NAME IT. Good luck bro.

Say, I'm seriously wanting to get a fab business up and running. Would happen to know the name of the insurance company that does your company's policy? I'd like to ask them a few questions. Thanks!

Tell me about it, I pay to have us covered. Although I feel very comfortable and confident with every item we manufacture, you never know....
