I was hoping to make up my own Hi-Los and was hoping that someone would have measurements or a drawing of them, even a scanned hand drawing would be awesome. How does the thread join onto the ball? I've been told they make the mini sit a lot nicer and since i'm re-doing everything anyway...

Anyways, Any help would be awesome.

Thank,

Daniel.

im keen to try turning some up too, so very keen to see peoples opinions how difficult it is and past experiences.

Design looks simple enough to reproduce.

Billet alloy isn't cheap.

Probably worth just buying off-the-shelf items instead of hand-fab, with things like this...

Just checked eBay and they wanted $155 for the rear and $110 for the front, and thats without postage.

How expensive is this alloy??

Is that just a Bolt with a hole drilled into the head??
