Hey Jimlab,

What happened to your "design" ??

I thought you were so concerned with weight ??

With that design using 3/16" plate, the stock bolts will be to short.

That cradle is a round tube version of the Bumpercars unit. I'm sure it's built alot better and won't fall apart.

Now your going to get behind this one with your 10,000 posts and tell everyone "THIS IS THE WAY TO GO!!!!"

You talk alot of smack but the only thing I've seen you do is hurt this very small market.

Good luck
Larry

And?

No, they won't. Looking at the pictures would disprove that, and Justin intends to make the final version from 1/8" and 3/16" plate anyway.

No, it's a round tube version of my cradle. Hinson's cradle doesn't work with LS2 or LS7 pans (and neither does yours, the last time I checked). Mine does.

Now your going to get behind this one with your 10,000 posts and tell everyone "THIS IS THE WAY TO GO!!!!"
Yeah, I am. I'll be using it myself.

You talk alot of smack but the only thing I've seen you do is hurt this very small market.
Talking from personal experience? If your design were perfect, you wouldn't have had to change it after I pointed out how ridiculous it was for the average user.

BTW, how many sets of monkey bars have you sold?
