Thanks guys. Also 1 last question. What if i just got the measurements and made them my self? Ive heard of a few peaople diong it. Get the aluminum and tig weld it all together?

Give it a shot, I'm sure the plate part wouldn't be that difficult to fabricate. However you may not be much ahead money-wise after you buy materials and the amount of time you spend fabricating them. Depending on how much you value your time of course...

I can get the parts at almost no cost what so ever. A friend of mine is a Fabrication teacher at a Voc school so they pretty much pay for it all i do is drop of measurements and the do it for me. ANd if they cant i have a tig at my shop and all fab tools to do it with him getting the material for me.
thanks -Mike |
Interested in your 280's when you get them swapped out. Thanks!

If you do buy them, just make sure you get the correct ones. The newer style use a larger pin. The pivot pin has a plastic sleeve on it. The older ones had a smaller pin hole since there is no sleeve on the pin.
