well, it wasn't really triangulated.... just follow the load paths, and you can see why. I figured that tubing you used would be plenty strong. Did it buckle the upper bar? |

It's triangulated.
It bent both bars from 180º to about 130º |

I might be a bit later than intended. I wanted to get underway between 1:00 and 2:00, but I need to see my dentist first thing in the morning. I broke the crown off a molar at lunch this afternoon and need to have it attended to. Hard to say how long it'll take. I'll be there to spectate in any case. _________________ 92 Camaro

Zap straps and an old sock would cure that..... |

Think I got her all fixed up tonight. Camera ran out of batteries or I'd take pictures.
Few bolts from Vancouver Bolt tomorrow morning and I should be good to go.
Not going to bend this bad boy that's for sure! |

I'm back on schedule, so I hope to see you at the house just before 6:00. Dentist gave me a temporary fix so I could have a crown put on in a couple weeks.
Anything I should bring?? Or should I wait and make the run to the grocery store after? |

Woot!
Haven't had that much fun over two days in a while. Thank you so much to Paul and Brandy for hosting - you guys are awesome.
It was way cool to get to hang with the Lama boy on a weekend again.
Thanks crewbies.
