    forget it, there is no time anymore, I quit this fryday, and I have just enough time to do this one. I have few things besides that to do. so its only 4 days again. But I can use measurements anyways, maybe I find a way to do those this summer.

    I have few updates for you, Today I have finished prep work, tomorrow I'll be starting on drilling all holes and maybe weld em all together.

    I have bad news tho, Because the Plasma cutter is inaccurate machine, well that one we have is, they all a bit different, they are not all identical clones :S it desapointed me. But I'm sure they will work fine tho, I will be testing each and every one of them so they fit!! before selling it to you!

    Re: Custom Strut Braces for the Rear..

    Ok guys I have bad news for ya I didnt got done with mounts, First af all, that old plasma cutter was so fkd up that it cut all plates different, so when 'I started drill holes, they we're different, didnt fit bolt pattern.
    Anyhow I have good news tho, I moved so I'll gona see here where I find a company that might be willing to cut all plates for us. I can weld them.
    I'm sorry if someone waited those bad, I figure this one out
