After prototyping these (very roughly) in hand-cut and drilled 1/2" steel, I figured I'd get a couple machined up.
Uses a box of Dorman 610-378 wheel studs and corresponding M12x1.25 nuts, plus a suitable bolt from e.g. the set supplied with a new balljoint. A longer tie rod is required; we're using 2000 Ford Focus rods, but others have noted that 940 rods are also suitable.
-3? camber on otherwise stock struts.
Now, it's probable that steel is overkill for this application, but I didn't want to get them made in Aluminium and then discover the hard way that it wasn't up to it...
Happy to share the eMachineShop design file / DXF for anyone that's interested, though in low volume they were not particularly cheap.
