looks great, after hearing people having problems, I don't even know what mine are torqued at but took 2 of us and a big *** wrench to tighten them as hard as we could and so far 20 track days+ haven't slipped yet!!! If it slips, I'll do something similar to this thanks!

Nice work.

Just a thought though coming from superbike racing and having to safety wire everything!!...couldn't you tap two holes in the plate where the tubes are welded, insert two bolts, drill the main nut of the ball joint and the two new bolts and safety wire it twice? Plus at 150ft lbs, should be good to go and a lot easier for guys without welders and your skill.

It is really not necessary to do that SPC recommends the nut be tightened to 120 ft lb by tighten it to 150 lb pretty much gets rid of the problem but by adding the extra metal to stiffen it up plus welding a collar and threading a bolt (with lock nuts) in there to put some extra pressure up against the back of the ball joint is plenty of security to keep it from moving.

Mine haven't moved so far.
