Brothers frame kit problems
 
Just finished the Brothers frame shortening kit on 66. As referenced in other threads, the measurements for the cab mounts are 1/2 inch off. I read this before I started and thought, well maybe they fixed it. Nope. If you try this kit, cut the cab mount off per the instructions, then wait until you’ve got the frame pushed together and bolted to relocate the rear cab mounts. Left a review on Brothers blog, and they deleted it. I don’t think that will fix the template!

Hmm, interesting. Your cab won’t bolt up to the cab mounts? I used their kit a few weeks back and my stuff bolted up.

I can confirm, my rear cab mounts are misaligned by about a half inch. I wasn’t aware before hand of the issue.
