All parts came in for the rear monoball project!

We ended up getting 17 people in total for the monoball group buy, and with that amount of quantity we decided to get the custom washers manufactured by CNC. Got the parts at the end of last week and they turned out fantastic. The washers were made to the design specs out of stainless steel, so will be strong and resistant to corrosion.

Due to the fact that the thickness of the washer would change the geometry of the suspension slightly, I have calculated that the joints must be installed 3mm offset to maintain the factory geometry. This is fairly easy with a hydraulic press and using a pair of digital calipers.

Very happy with how this project turned out, just need to get these things installed.
