Hi,

a while ago someone posted a link to a website which sold some really nice steering drop brackets, not the usual cheap type, but one which appeared to replace the original bracket to allow it to mount lower without increasing flex.

Does anyone still have the link to this company?


Thanks


Chris

Wow pretty expensive. I wonder how much he sells for direct. I could do with one of these for the pick up, I get a fair bit of flex :thumbsup:

Im tempted to do it at that price to be honest, just need some steel plate the right thickness.
