    Captain Ron has a sweet set-up~!
    It was made by a person on this board.
    It was shipped to me and then I got it to Ron......and it almost didn't make it to him :rofl2:

    Hey good day mate.
    John: that set up you shipped to me , I gave to another mav guy. I now have something very similar to the 1 posted by fishouttawater. Mine is DOM steel, with rod ends and all powder coated. Have left hand threads on 1 end so that you can loosen or tighten up the suspension.Have a straight bar inbetween carb and dizzy goin shock tower to shock tower. U will see it maybe this July.(y)

    Some more pics. Kinda hard to see now, with black background...Mine are painted with POR-15, but could as well have been powdercoated or made out of stainless.

    The guy (fan2488) that made them also made a set with a straight bar across the front to miss Rick Book's fuel injection setup. So that bend could be made to fit around any sized distributor or intake.
