Dude, hows the mounts coming along?
Been doing a few designs im my boredom, Measured the standard mount spacings, Found a decent quality bearing and designed these around them, they similar to what your planning?
Said bearing, http://www.rbcbearings.com/spherical...on&type=Sealed
20mm internal, 35x12 external.
What you recon? Might ask my local place for a price!

yes, nearly identical to that olly i have a couple designs to try for caster but its proving difficult. they should be done soon but im struggling to find time atm even with having time off.
ask for a price olly, tbh they are not that hard to machine. an experienced turner should knock 'em out in a couple of hours.

Will get a price when i can pop over to them! Castor adjustable would be nice! just hard to adjust accurately with the mounts underneath!
ross there to fit coilovers, With a turned down top to 20mm, Just basically bolt the damper/spring pan to the spherical bearing (sits in a recess on the centre) and then can be bolted to chassis same as standard. the moving carriage allows camber adjustment by slackening the bolts and moving in or out. Rip off of the AST mount tbh, Hopefully a bit cheaper than £290 though! 
Plus its Solid, no rubber mounts...

cheers danny.
Volt meter was from eBay mate. About £6 quid I think. Its faily acurate too I tested with my volt meter and it was only .01 out so I can't argue.
