    yep that was steve scott aka scottie he is on this site, but i'm not so sure he would be selling them opposed to showing what's out there. To my knowledge there is 4 of us running that system from this site. If scottie is selling them i'm not aware of this.

    he had patters for the bracket and a list of the parts he used.
    if I just had a list of the parts and what year they came from
    I can handle the bracket.

    Thanks for asking about this RD. Disc brakes became Job One coming home Sunday. Stupid red Honda driver didn't notice that her lane was ending. Nearly scared the poop out of me.

    11" drums
