Files?

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but, I don't think there's enough info on those images to re-create a dwg file, specifically, what's the radius from the center of the circle to the center of the bolt holes so we can use the radial tool to draw it correctly. Indeed, if the center of the big circle is equidistant from the centers of the bolt holes, I don't see how the distances between the rear holes and the front hole can be different (on the rear spacer dwg). Maybe I'm just not getting it. Or, if dwg files are available, that'll work, too.

 

+1 for CAD drawings if anyone has them. It can be most any file, but ideally a DXF, DWG, SolidWorks part, or Parasolid. It won't take very long to do it myself, but I'm lazy and it's easier to just ask. Let me know if you have it and I will PM you with my email. Thanks.

 

Actually, the front spacer dwg is easy to recreate. The rear spacer dwg doesn't give enough dimensions.

 

So, I take this that I can take the images/dimensions from the first post, and create my rear "blocks" for a 2005. That sounds correct since while I replaced the rear struts recently, I had the choice between 3rd gen or 2nd gen struts.
As far as the fronts, looks like I'll have to create those, but no problem(s).
BTW, ran across a BUNCH of 0.5" HDPE, so I'm "re-purposing." It can be sandwiched and make a safe 1.0" lift. If anybody's interested in some, let me know.

Hey, do you still have those 1/2" HDPE. Let me know how much they cost as I would like lift my 02 OBW a bit.

 

I mean dremal tool kit

 

So did anyone ever get drawings for the fronts of an 05-09? I know Bac 5.2 made some but I haven't heard back from him on dimensions/drawings. I've for an 09 OBXT with bilstein hds sitting in the garage waiting springs and top hats. Any progress?

 

By the way, anybody knows what is the best way to take the bolts out of the mounts so as to have longer ones in for the 1" spacers? I tried hammering them but they are really stuborn and would not move. Might have to get a sledge hammer to do the job. I am afraid to bend the mounts if I hit it in a wrong angle. I was hoping that someone would know a tool like the ball joint remover tool where you just clamp the bolt against the mount and screw out the bolt

 

Just so you guys know, I just ordered a 12x24 piece of 1" thick HDPE through amazon. Total cost was $45 shipped. They have a ton of plastics listed there in many thicknesses for anyone wanting to do this or make some under-body protection panels.

 

I haven't finished yet, but I took the 2nd gen templates and scaled them to 3rd gen.
Of course, it's only a starting point, so save some stock for cutting!!
Car's for sale now, so project is on hold.

 

i made my rear without template, just put top hat down on material and traced. With a hack saw it took like 15 minutes to make both

 

I don't know if I'll make these anytime soon but I'd like to inform you all that McMaster-Carr has all of the plastic you'd ever need in any formulation. Acetal is one of my favorite plastics for things like this. Delrin too.

 

Just finished a CAD drawing based on the OP image, only for the front though. Just picked up some UHMW this afternoon and might CNC these over the weekend. Installing on a BH Legacy.

Does anyone have the layout for the rear? I know the holes are inline, but don't know the spacing. I have too much crap in the back of my car to dig down to the bolts. I plan to lay out the bolt holes, and then eyeball the size of the center clearance hole looking at Subtle's web site.

Edit: Link above includes front and rear, dimensions changed to metric so the guys at work can program it. Rear measurements were taken crudely with a tape measure, and remaining dimensions were estimated from Subtle's pictures. Front has been printed to scale and appears to be all right. If anyone wants to try the rear as included above and post results, by all means, get to it!

 

Test parts made today out of MDF. Fronts per the drawing are perfect, need to test the rears.

 

Well the parts are made. The fronts will fit without any issue. The rears should fit, based on the MDF test parts. Going to try to get them installed this weekend. I have eight of each, 4 from 1/2" UHMW and 4 from 3/4" UHMW. Using different combinations I can get anywhere from 1/2" lift up to 2 1/2" lift in 1/4" increments, with the exception of 1 1/2".

 

Anybody happen to have dimensions for 2010-present Outback struts? I have the tools to do it, I just wondered if someone has already measured theirs. If I don't get a response in a day or so, I'll make up a drawing/solid file for it.

How is the plastic holding up for those of you who have used it? I'm considering using aluminum, but it's so darned expensive just to get the raw material, I might as well just buy the spacers from subtle solutions.

 

Can someone put on the dimension of the rear ones again?

 

Spacer dimensions

I have a mate who would like to lift his Outback (2012) . Does anyone have some details on the dimensions?

Because I am stuck behind the PC, most of my mates task me with these type of things. :wink2:

I am also searching for the dimension for a 2010 Outback.
Anyone?


Greetz, Q

 

Any dimensions for a 2003 H6 Outback? (read the whole thread but may have missed it)

 

Was anyone able to get a drawing for the 2010-14 Outbacks?

 

Still looking for dimension for a 2010 Out.


Greetz, Q

 

what is the biggest tire you can put on outback whit 4" lift kit

 

I now I can put 245 75 r17 can I go biger

 

Also looking for rear measurement or drawing for 2005. anyone has them, otherwise I will have to take the strut off the car before being able to make them? the link posted by steckrca is corrupted Thank you!

 

So I had to make my own templates...

Template for Subaru Legacy (Outback) BH (2000-2003) - rear shock absorber cap

 

Any dimensions for BP Leggy/OB spacers available?

 

Greetings from Finland ? I don’t know am I asking stupid but does someone have those CAD-models what Steckrca uploaded 2013 ? I have bought 2005 Forester and I would like manufacture these lift templates by myself.
