Started on making rear leaf hangers for the front.. i had to outboard the hangers because the D60 perches are wider than the frame.. So i welded some 1.5" DOM to a plate, then made braces and gusseted them. they will stick out about 4" from the frame. ill weld the plate to the bottom of the frame and triangulate them with another piece of DOM that runs at a 45 degree angle from the mount back to the frame.. on to the unfinished pics!
