Engine is running good but won't know just how strong it is until I get the brakes done.

Only issue is the eaton shock mount hole is way too large! Even the hole close in the picture here is about 3/4"!
So I fired up my new miller 252
Far one was so bad I cut it out and made a replacement triangle piece and welded in. All done:
