Similar but different application. I think we covered the issue better for our specific application, with all our experiences directly applicable.

Later,

I'm sure you have, I just came across the read and thought that it might be of interest to someone(s)

I see that you sell a bolt kit for ths appliction, what are the specs on those bolts?

This info is all somewhere in the site but being new to it, I'm just getting around and shooting from the hip my 2 cents.

i',m not trying to fix what has been fixed, just sayin

besides that, i just want the best possible info as everyone does and if I come across something that I think may help, I'll post it with no intentions.

thanks for info so far
