thought a little more abiout the added forces with the arms backwards.after the heating/bending, decided to stiffen things up with a gusset

tied it into the steering stop mount. can't hurt?

Nice work Dave. Did you actually get hung up on it that much or did you just want to pimp the front out alittle?
 
yep on Harlan, got the saw chain really sharp:shaking:

when i get a little more time i'm gonna work on attaching the top of the knuckle to the arm as well. think i've got a plan
 
That extra bolt you added - what does it bolt to, the ABS sensor hole?
 
it is the threaded tab for the steering stop. should be pretty strong
