Default Update

I'm getting closer on getting the prototype finished, and Here's a good update. I was thinking that I would sell these with the angles cut, so the tubes would angle up. If folks wanted to do a step, then they would just need to grind the angled cuts flat. As it turns out, you won't need to do any grinding. You only need to weld them on a little lower on the factory slider. this works out really well.

I'll post some pics, in the next couple of days.

Just alittle info HITMONEY

Drawn Over Mandrel is a cold drawn electric resistance welded tube with all flash removed. Compared to structural pipe, DOM Round Tubing is produced to more exact OD and ID tolerances and better finishes without a seam. Ideally suited for a wide range of structural and bushing applications. Widely used in stressful applications requiring higher quality, uniformity, strength, and soundness.

The down side would be a lousy weld, then it would be steep in price for sure.
