here is some more tech. im working on making some 5th stud steering arms. i got some 1/2" plate from the local scrap yard for $0.50. i went to my buddy shop and he cut it out into 4 pieces. then i ground them clean, and ground the top of the knuckle flat. ive got one all welded up. i still need to drill the 5th hole and im going to weld the head of the 5/8" bolt on the inside of the knuckle.     |

will the head of the bolt hit the birfield ??
can someone show pic's of the clearance between the birfield and the knuckle??
i have a front end but have not tore it apart yet...
waiting on more parts....
i am going to do the 5 stud's but i will use the dana 44 stud's they are 9/16 fine thread..
then i will drill out by stud holes for the lockouts to 7/16 fine thread for some bob long
drive flanges and drill some 5/16 dowel pins (6 of them)
thanks brian higdon...

i got a pic and i also measured the clearence, and there is more than 3/4" for the head of the bolt. the head of the bolt will be right between the 2 dimples.  |

its a cheap mod too, ive got about 3 hrs time and $2.50 in bolts and $0.50 in steel.
i will eventually swap the 4 studs out to arp ones, but this will keep me from breaking them in the meantime. i also left a gap between the new piece and the knuckle for shims like the top.

i think this is a neat idea. is the stud welded in the knuckle? from the pics it either looks welded or you put some sort of sealer in there... just wondering because if its welded hopefully the stud never strips out
