I machined a shiny bit....and it works
After much faffing I decided to bite the bullet and make this part myself. After much carefull setting up of the top slide with DTI, I machined this
beauty. I was really worried about the matching taper but it turned out perfect. Initial fit showed good contact with machinist blue. When I bolted
it up proper I actually struggled to seperate the parts which I'm taking as a good sign.
Its essentially converting my MGZR front upright to take a balljoint, like the sierra mushroom adapters but bigger.
I am a little pleased with myself.

 Is that machined from solid!? Possibly the most expensive temperature housing ever :p Looks cool though.
