I have done a good deal of research on these swaps over the last few years but may need some quality advice from you. I will keep you posted, probably via PM.
Ask away, either here or a PM. If you can, post them here, then the info is getting out to the masses! BTW, the bracket got here yesterday!!! Thanks again, and sorry I'm just now popping up to say thanks. Been taking some lessons trying to knock a few (OK, a bunch) of strokes off of my golf game!

Hmmm, I have most of that covered, except the Mexico part. But my guys in the shop here work with an average material thickness of 1/2". I wonder if the even remember how to weld something as thin as header tubes?
