cheers.

Awesome. FYI, they do take a little working around and have to be near-perfectly aligned (which can be a challenge with some of the off-camber mounting points at the front and back but they do work. I'm loving mine.

Erik-

To account for the slight misalignment possibilities, would it be possible to mount on a pivoting base of some sort and maintain the rigidity that is necessary? Or, perhaps ovaling out the base mounting point to have the "play" necessary to account for the alignment concerns? Not trying to gum up the works, just trying to see if it were still possible to use these mounts while accounting for the irregularities you mention. I don't know if I have added anything of substance to the dialog or not; if not, please forgive me!

Regards,

Steve

I've ovaled out and used some off camber spacers to compensate. There's just adjustment and once you have it, it's awesome. Just takes a bit of work.
