Thanks guys.

I'm not going to market them, there are too many variables in how to work out the suspension. I've set the master up for telescoping brass tubing that is fine for my purposes, but not necessarily anyone else's. Since the hole is cast small (much smaller than the kit), I'm sure drilling out for bearings would be no problem, but I'm not planning on going that route myself.

The only way I'd market them would be to sell it with bearings and the arms ready to bolt to the kit hull. I'm a sculptor, not an engineer, this would be best suited for someone with a 3D printer. I like finding solutions, but if it fails, it's only my tank. I wouldn't want to find a design flaw after I sold 50 sets. I'll stick to figures, since I know once it leaves the shop, it'll work like it's supposed to.

That said, once I've installed and road tested them, I've got no problem privately selling a few sets to you guys if you want, as long as you know exactly what you're getting into. I'll take a series of photos when I have them installed so you'll be able to see what I did, but it might take a while.
