Sooo , speakin of the Persian rug ... that reminded me I had a whole box of old data logging **** from days gone by ... EGT , O2's , pressure sensors .. bunch of stuff I haven't seen in years ... I think I know where there's a real nice hydraulic unit with a 19 spline coupler that is just waiting to shear some fluid ...

The factory 280 bracket has a 2" setback that's built into the neck . It has two sets of cyl bosses that lets you run a full length cylinder vertical or the shorty in the horizontal position . It also uses that two inch's as a lever to put more stress on the fulcrum point ( like a long breaker bar) . As they say ... no free lunch . You trade ease of installation for a vulnerable part when racing in insane weather conditions.

What TUX is talking about , is a bracket that split in the front on one side and the top on the other . We , notched , welded ,wrapped , side plated and then bored the tilt hole , pressed in a 6061 tube and then pilot reamed it to final size .
I have done a couple more since then . Haven't heard back , so I guess that mean's the fix is still working ...

Much stronger than stock. Never worry about this piece not holding up in the rough stuff.
Chaz is the man. Thanks again for the great work.

Brother I'll tell ya ... The show you and Bay-Rat put on was second to none and the first thing I looked for after one of your OPC races .
My son showed he homies pictures of you guys 10' in the air , they all thought the pics were photo shopped ... LOL
If you didn't break that bucket ... I don't think anyone can ...

Question for the new billet mid designers: How do you take a current assembly and create the new CAD drawing? Do you 3D scan the piece?

Awesome victory celebration last night for the Shadow Pirate team at the Pirate's Well in Lake Park! It was a great gathering of fun loving people, good friends and race fans!!
