[waynedawg]

[Sneasle]

Not too bad. Still got some work to go, but it's got potential.

[waynedawg]

tks

thanks this is the first time we ever tryed this so any help would be great

[Sneasle]

I'm not a machinist, but I'm sure there are a few on the forums. Hopefully one will pop in and give you some input.

[waynedawg]

ok thanks

[tth]

I'm no machinist either but I think the center section of the extended bracket would be much lighter with that section completely hollowed out. Not sure how it would affect structrual integrity though?

Edit: Looks good IMO

[Basstronics]

Well youre all in luck not only am I a machinist but an engineer...

Triangulation is the key!

Outside that looks awesome!

[waynedawg]

thanks trying to make a good set

[Sneasle]

Ya, that's a good point. Triangles are an engineers best friend.

[waynedawg]

almost done

ok everthing is almost done let me know what you guys think

[waynedawg]

the strut still needs some work

[Sneasle]

Looks ok to me, that's about all I can add.

Strut does look like it could use a bit more material on it..

[waynedawg]

hardwear done

well got all the hardwear done today and got it mounted on the scat cat what do you guys think?

[Basstronics]

Man that strut looks to small. Theres not enough area between the bearings... IMO. Just dont look right in that aspect.

[Sneasle]

Ya, I think you need to add some more 'meat' to your next rev strut. A good bump on a rock and that one is toast.
