| They are nice arms but think about what they would cost to make. most high steer arms are milled from solid stock on a CNC. Those are 1/4" plate cut and welded together. They would make a great product but would take alot of manual labor to make.
Thanks for the post Bill. Thats some good reading, I just need to wait a couple of years for my money tree to grow and I can build something like that. | |

| He sorta placed second at KOH but shortcuted 2 miles out of his lap and was disqualified. Runs awesome though from the videos. I can't believe after all that time and money put into the machine that he sold it. Guess he's got bigger plans. | |
