Is that what I think it is? I mean if your going for a lighter front end I suppose that might help.

I'd use more tape otherwise it's not safe. Gorilla tape it a bunch and hit the highway/rocks, lol

Maybe hes using the pvc as a gig to see how long he needs to make the linkage.I have seen it used for 4 link sets ups like that before.

I assume you mean Jig? ^^

I don't see why he would need to, the blue tape is probably 70-80% as strong as a weld,and I think F1 cars use PVC due to its weight reduction and aerodynamic properties.
Just run a few more peices of tape and bring a little extra along if you are going to be wheeling hard.

Also curious about this. WJ knuckles? Why did you decide to run the tie rod UTK? What're your plans for relocation the track bar? Looks great btw.
