Dennis, check the small gauge measurements you PM'd me, they don't add up (literally).

I submitted my order, and added a little extra play on the small brackets, to allow for adjustability and to account for the addition snafu.

Hope to get them by the end of the week if all goes well.

No problem, got the drawings to the shop, they are busy, so it looks like they'll be cut next week. Hang tight, I'll get the brackets to you so you can put your big ones in.

That looks good man. I like the fact that you are going through the effort for the stock blinkers. That is a nice trick that a lot of people won't even think of.
