Thanks DS!

I can't plan 3 weeks ahead so I am not sure yet.

I agree that a little bracing does wonders.

How wide is it across the shock mounts?

I have another non-answer answer.....  It is 1/2" wider per side than the shock and spring that is going between them.  And if you notice the holes are not for a 1/2" bolt.  ;D

Those are some of the finest clamps I have seen in a long time. ;D    That must be sweet, just putting all the pieces together like a puzzle.  If your gonna make LS in 3 weeks you may have to leave a few clamps on the the test rides. rofl

I didn't specify.  I guess that is what happens when I choose the cheap laser cutter.

The bulkhead is almost ready for a frame.  Rack mounts sticking out the front, A-arm mounting points, shock mounts and holes for frame tubes.
