Looks good especially that very tight 4 bends. difficult to do let alone duplicating it for the other side. Well done. Yep those LH bits solve a lot of issues.

Thanks, I did get both sides bent up. It was time consuming but I got it. Hoping to finish fitting all of it this weekend. Have a couple other things I need to work on this weekend as well.

So I was inserting my interference fit sleeve tubes into the lower cradle , with a 10 lb sledge

then the worst happened.... I missed and bent a bolt on the adaptor plate. Thank goodness for left hand drill bits and easy outs. Didn't try and bend the bolt back. I tried to un thread it but it snapped off flush the second I tried. I know better then to make those tight fits but I got impatient.

Progress is progress no matter which way it goes. Looks like you have it under control as usual.

I've been fighting alternator issues the last 2 years. I believe I finally have found a cure. I'll get some pics and post them up when it gets here. I have the pics of the mid board hub maintenance and will get that done as well. Been a bit busy of late.

Look forward to reading that.

Due to differences in case width i had to come up with a drop around the side cases. Not as tight as I would like to have achieved but as tight as my bender would do. 4 back to back bends and it works.

At those low prices per case, the alcoholics and homeless will be buying it. Locally , ( was not there, as told to myself) there was a rep handing out free cans at brewski's bar. Pats son and his buddy each said sure, each took one. A fair number of people did so as well and they all told the rep that they would enjoy pouring them out. If I was that rep I would change companies. Looks like target following suit!

Went camping and fishing with 12 guys and their families last weekend, not a buttlite in site. Just a field observation.

PERFECT!!!!!!
