There is another aspect to the bellcrank design that you haven't mentioned. You needn't use a 90 degree angle between the arms on the bell crank. If you use...

Craig, I was hoping that you would pitch-in at some point. For hands-on-down to the garage concrete floor- engineers like myself could you point the direction...
I would like a bandsaw, but a chopsaw works and is east to do compound angle cuts I would buy a chopsaw first, but don't try using it in the house. Magnetic...
I have pictures and a bit I've written about tools for the project on my web site under "tools" www.texaslocost.com for what it may be worth. wayne ...
Bent two tubes and welded sheet metal to cover the two. I did this after the main roll bar was installed, and so its integrity wasn't compromised. ... same...
