DIY Torque strap

[David Walker]

Hi,
Just wanted to share a torque strap I have made for my 440 Superbee.
Mcgill Motorsport M12 x 130mm turnbuckle kit
Classic mini tie bar poly bushes and washers
Brackets made from some odd offcuts lying about.

Owes me about £40 in parts and a few hours to make it. Pretty happy with how it's come out!

Sorted!

could you make a sort of u shaped 'saddle' to bolt to the same 2 bolts and go over the 'rose' joint to put the bolt in double shear? the existing bracket is then less likely to twist and over time crack. i'm a belt and braces type of person, i blame my farm upbringing

That's not a bad shout. I've got to replace the stainless bolt anyway with a high tensile version so could have a look at beefing it up further. Or use some of the 6mm bar I made the base out of.

Amazing how well it works. Just got to find and sort the knocking noise out that sounds worryingly like angry big end noises
