> Adam, how fast could you turn out a set of them? I love building things, but I assume mass produced off the shelf ones are cheaper than materials and labor time.

I would have assumed it would be cheaper and easier to fabricate up a new set of mounts for a shock that already does what you want it to, from a different application, but I loved watching that.

I need to make something on the lathe again, probably the steering rack to tie rod adapters for the baja. Forgot how fun it was.
