I'll probably just hang around the expo side and stick with paul and his friends at thier booth. Sneaking out to explore the tables on the inside.  :swaying: I will be there saturday and sunday. When I find you I will give you your bracket back. The fork and new one should come in middle next week sometime. Then I slap that bad boy in there. Still need to get the drive shafty shortened but then she will be running.  :cooldancing: :burnout:

Looks great!   :woohoo:
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

good job!  if you really want to get it down to the nitty gritty, i think the (rubber) trans mount bracket itself is painted yellow.  but you might want to research that.

I too think they all should have come yellow.  I'll check some of my documents.....

Picture of OEM yellow trans mount.
From what I recall before, the durometer of the rubber was harder also.
