Icon2 Need advice identifying this part - Aluminium 6061/7073 - control arm?

hi ,

, trying to figure out where this part goes, what it is. i think its for the rear wheels a stabilizer or a control arm can someone confirm?
its made of airport grade aluminum very light weight yet very strong, either aluminum 6061 or 7073. Can be fabricated for your cars and shipped to any location / USA/Canada



thanks again!
cheers

So you're going to fabricate a part but don't know what it even is nor what car it goes on?
And you bump your thread IMMEDIATELY after creating it?

it goes on a civic or an acura, as far as i am aware.

Would just like advice on what the part is so i can market it. I may not know what the part is but i know my fabrication. The quality is airport grade, light and very durable. I have seen it on a 92/ civic hatchback, they were at the rear wheels next to the exhaust, it looks like some sort of stabilizer to me but im not a 100%. I can provide exact measurements and spec's of the part once i can get some constructive feedback from someone with knowledge willing to offer help.

thanks,

So lemme get this straight...people on the forum are supposed to do your research FOR you and get nothing back in return while you make that coin?

And no R&D? Just jack someone else's design and sell it as your own? And in this case you're probably trying to rip-off a rip-off!

They build the terminals out of it.

Here's a suggestion; do a Google image search until you find what it is you're looking for or go to the nearest junkyard and start matching up parts.

Sorry. I know I'm not going to play a part in helping some unknown person pirate someone elses hard work to make a quick buck.
