making lowering blocks
im new here just bought a 340 (its awesome) but cant seem to find any three inch lowering blocks. im thinking about making them out of steel myself as they look fairly simple anyone ever done anything like this?
Re: making lowering blocks
Yep, last week:
2 inch box section with thick steel on the ends, top drilled and tapped for a locating bolt to sit in the hole on the top of the leaf.
