Brad
The mounting points have been completely re-manufactured.. They are set
right into the x-member and are a work of art.. Paul and I had a good look
at it and decided that the work involved would take many, many hours and was
of the highest quality. Not just slotted mate!!
I will get some pics of it and post them to my page - when i get
Pittsworth out of the way..
cheers
Mick
