    I should be able to get it installed within a day or two of receiving it.

    It'll be the same as if I sent a set to the East Coast.

    No worries, your name is on the second set. Going to cut the remaining parts out shortly.

    Cutting parts is fun

    But seeing them bent is a real treat

    The bends are so nice and crisp

    I appreciate it!

    Going to be sending this set to @BluberryBCtaco but I'll get yours going when I pick up some more steel. You'll be next as far as the next sets go.

    No sweat and no rush, just throwing my name in the hat as I could get to it in a "reasonable" time frame :).

    Everyone should own at least one set of AMURICAN calipers (even if they're not American made) :anonymous:

    I already got the bestest present, F-bomb inner mounts. That drill job was :anonymous: done in my Red Green workshop. I miss oxy/acetelyne and full stand shop drill presses.

    I’d probably be dangerous if I could operate/own machining/milling equipment.

    A mill is definitely on the list of "wants".

    I drilled some holes out of your L bracket, and they came out clean. Only thing left though is the need to "enlarge" them as they're larger than the bit I used, but smaller than the next size up.

    And although my drill press is a bench top style, I'm just glad it's solid and doesn't walk at all.

    @cybrnook

    Larger isn’t causing an issue, so be creative!

    I’m blessed with supplies from my dad who had the shop sizes (A-T?) As well as fractional and decimal. I’m the weirdo with metrics completing the stock of bits. Some of them definitely weren’t made for the materials we have now though.

    Stoked to have the latest revision shipped out, and anxiously waiting for your feedback once they arrive.

    Even if they don't get fully installed, just getting the two holes in the bed drilled (to hold the exterior bracket and internal bracket) in place to see how the L bracket lines up.
