Can i get some help with a dropmember install?

I have emailed nate a million times. He is a busy man. I completely understand. I have one of the first dropmembers made and it wasnt purchased from him.
I just need some pictures or instructions on installing this dropmember. Anyone have anything. Everything i find is the newer versions.

This is not a shot at Porterbuilt at all. I didnt buy anything from him so he technically doesnt have to do anything for me. I will be buying my rear notch setup and a steering rack from them, but i havent currently purchased anything. Is he normally this busy?

Thanks for any pics.

Almost every shop like Porterbuilt gets 'nuisance' calls and e-mail from people who just will not stop pestering for 'details' and complaints so they all get ignored, justified or not. The really threatening queries come from someone who bought stuff second hand, ask for advice, get the advice, screw up and then sue for a megabuck or two. Product liability is a really squishy area so no one with an IQ above room temperature will ever answer a query like yours. That's not a statement about any supplier, it is a statement about the litigious society we live in.


Install instructions are available on his website. Go here: http://www.pbfab.com/inst/DM-Front.pdf

That's about all you can expect

I dont know what the hell you are talking about. Im simply asking the man if he has an old set of instructions/pictures of one of his products that he made in his past. Thats it.
You stating that only a moron would give instructions on an older product that they produced is the dumbest thing i have ever heard.

I fully understand how many questions he would get in a day. Thats why im giving him tons of time, and im also going to buy a few products from him because of the time he has to take to get me my information.

I was just hoping someone knew of a build thread that had one of the first drop member versions that i could use as my base. That was it.
