Scouts are heavy enough as it is. mike 09-12-2002, 06:35 PM Originally posted by Old Scout I guess the term 6061-T6 is beyond you guys!:flipoff2: Who said anything about STEEL!:confused: I caught it the first time :flipoff2: Now, if 2" tubing wont fit there how the hell will that? :D Old Scout 09-12-2002, 06:39 PM I will need to cut a smile out of the middle for the Vibe damper.

Mechanos 09-12-2002, 09:16 PM Are you planning to address the potential for corrosion between the two dissimilar metals (frame & brace)?

If the two pieces of material are primed and painted on the ends, this will stop the chance of corrosion. snoop dogg 09-13-2002, 08:44 AM Originally posted by JoshC Great, thanks for the education. :rolleyes: your welcome:flipoff2: just thought i would share my knowledge w/ the whole world:p Philabuster 09-17-2002, 08:31 PM Originally posted by HarleyM If the two pieces of material are primed and painted on the ends, this will stop the chance of corrosion.
