    We send extras too in case you drop one while installing in your front yard, at night, when you didn’t cut the yard for two weeks. Not that I’ve done that or anything...

    I REALLY hope that isn't the case!
    I put the one with long handle in the front most hole! as shown in this pic.

    Isn’t that what we are looking at in the first picture? Or are you referring to the rear hole in that part? The rear hole is there just cause we use the same part for the left and the right. They are flipped around so we need mirrored holes.

    No, the one you just quoted in the front most hole. The one I was asking about is the one on the other side of that same flange. It sounds like you're saying it's ok to leave that one empty?

    Yup. We intended that one to be boltless.

    You have it right. There is a hole on both sides so the part is universal. It’s a manufacturing thing. We used to have it on one side and we had some knuckleheads work for us that would weld them on backwards. Made them idiot proof.

    I heard there was a recall on those because of bad welds, you need to take them off and send them back... :D

    Those look GREAT!! If you had to do it over again would you buy them again? What would you change in respects to the instructions? I’m looking at these and Avid. The Mobtown staff seems very helpful.

    Thanks very much! Yes, would definitely buy them again. I love the way they turned out and have already gotten a few compliments. Yes, Mobtown & folks on TW were definitely helpful... part of the time I was posting from underneath the truck and quick responses were awesome.

    I do have to say, right now I feel like I could do them in two hours or less... experience being the key.
