Hi Kirk, lets begin with your hot assistant, please I've been married for 21 years and that's just painful
for me.
Next, I didn't use the eye bolts because IMHO they would reduce the overall stiffness of the 3/4 bar, so I measured 6 times , scrapped a couple of bars and then Voila but I could be wrong (NOT)
.
I understand your idea for the 2 extra bars
, but after much reflection wouldn't it be a much more solid setup if we would just replace the OEM triangular plate with a 1/2 plate instead and get equivalent or better results, I'm sure some local machine shop with a water jet cutting machine can cut one out for about $60.00.
Looking forward to your thoughts on this and more pics of your hot assistant
.
Thanks
Franco
