why did you wrap the outer a-arms with the metal?

87 dually burb 06-02-2009 03:28 PM

Re: 90 burb (( daily dragger))
 
I had to cut th rain gutter off the arms for the 15" rallies to fit so I wrapped it with a metal band and cut it to fit had to trim about a 5/16 off keep it from rubbing
not lookin like it I let the inspection run out so I'm just going to cut the floor do a notch and bags/mount done to inspect for july

nice, i thought you were going to cut it back far enough to raise the thrid seat up...

87 dually burb 06-05-2009 09:25 PM

Re: 90 burb (( daily dragger))
 
I am that is all I got cut before the thunder storms rolled through all this week
it will be cut even across the back of the wheel wells and enough in the front to still fit under seat if you look at the wheel opening I have about 8" in front of the wheel well that will be filled in flat for more leg room and future speakers
