does anyone in Ohio have a LD 3 link that is either installed or in the process of installing in a first gen? if there is someone can i come take a look at it and get a few measurements? going to build my own setup but would like some referance measurements.

There are some build threads around to look at, but i doubt anyone is going to invite you over to copy measurements of a product they paid thousands for. LD spent the time to design a nice product and charged a price reflective of that. It isn't really appropriate to ask anyone to give you that info for free.

Is LD still producing these kits under their name or under somebody elses name? I'm not sure how many of the LD kits were even sold, but I'm guessing not many...or not enough to keep their doors open, which is unfortunate since the system really works. It's probably just a little too invasive for some folks. As stated above, good luck on getting somebody to let you "copy" something they paid good money for. :)

I've tried e-mailing them to get one but never got a responce. those who PMed me i have offered to give them money for their time so its not like i want something for free. i guess i have enough pictures from all the threads i found to build a good set-up.

Lateral Dynamics closed and I think ATS started marketing and/or building the 3-link under a license agreement.
But , alas , ATS closed , except as a part time deal for Tyler ( I think )

It would be great if someone built this 3-link again and marketed it..

I'm one of the people you PM'd for measurements, etc. I don't care that I paid a lot of money for it, but I decided that I had no right to give away LD's development time and effort. It's clearly a desirable product, and they may still be able to market it or to sell the rights to someone else. If you contact them and they have no problem with you cloning their design, then I'd think about it. Until then, I'll respect their efforts in bringing an excellent product to the market.

if they answered e-mails then i wouldn't have posted this. i'm not going to build them to sell, i have no desire too but i respect your decision. i just don't want to waste a bunch of money on another set up when i know its not the best out there.
