on that note, Mike started making the one-off bushings for them
I'll try post up some pics tomorrow

Joel, stay away from those rack spacers, that's some scary shit

aren't you an engineer? Design me a structurally sound modular aluminum upright
kind of like the ones on the Sierra Sierra Time Attack Evo
and I'll be your best friend

Which Jimmy are you talking about? I know more than one on here.

Yea, I wasn't looking forward to using those. I'm sure they cause a lot of stress at the joints.

Lol! Man, if I had a Mill, let alone access to one, then yes, I would make some kind of forged upright. I began designing one, but I became too busy with other things.

The amount of correction the Driftworks knuckles is plenty. Addition of the Moonface roll center adjuster is overkill. BUt doesn't hurt to try if you're curious, just your wallet.
Uggh... They are expensive..
