Re: "Geronimo" 54' 3100 LS built in PA

Rob, yes that ebrake bracket is getting moved up and out of the way. The half hole on my bracket was because the material I had didn't extend up enough to have the full hole. So when I get these Cnc'd out, I'll design it to do just that, so you can mount all three holes.
You can still put a bolt in the top there as is, or I can extend this piece to go up higher if I end up just using this actual piece. again, this is just more of a prototype to get the leafs in there. I'd like to have a more aesthetically looking piece, even though this thing is a brute.

I really wish the ebrake bracket didn't need moved but it does. I wanted to have a kit to be an easy bolt on with less headache, like the TCI kit is. But with their kit, its A.expensive, B. not as beefy, and C. I don't see how their leaf springs are parallel with the frame since it tapers in about 4" in the back. With my set up, the rear xmember needs moved, the rear of the frame needs boxed and a huge hole drilled for the shackle bushing, then up front the ebrake cable needs moved. So it becomes a bit more of task.
