Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
I was thinking about calling it the Version: "Stop wasting my time changing things and move on to another product already". But felt that it didn't roll off the tongue very well.
![]() This will just be known as the Dropmember (technically it's the 5th design version and incorporates a few touches from each of the previous ones along with a few added features).... I am done tweaking and changing things... for now. ![]() I am extremely pleased with this one... the new equipment has really been paying off. Nate

That is funny, when I was running a press brake on the production floor we had names for parts too:X-wing fighter,texas,california,oklahoma and my favorite were the "frogs". Parts can really get strange looking once you flatten out a model. What kind of press brake did you get? and did I hear a new water jet too? Is yours a Flow? we just got a new Flow water jet ![]()

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
Which years will that be for? Looks like it might allow more exhaust clearance for the trifives.

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
This design is used for all our current kits 55-87. Exhaust clearances should be the same.

Have you purchased your kit yet? I ask because we changed things up a little on the 55-59 kits a couple months back that make exhaust and steering linkage a bit easier to negotiate. Not an LS motor pictured.... but thought I would post it anyways.
