    Here's the one we made for our Valiant project. Cost was about $300 in steel and misc parts, bolts etc....

    We made both the centre height of the vehicle and the height of the spindle both adjustable. It was hit and miss but we took an educated guess at the Valiants centre of gravity and put a couple of holes either side. They are just held in place with an old high tensile bolt. We used 65mm2 tube over 50mm2 tube I think and it fitted nicely.
