Unless they can get about 50 people interested.

Happy Sewie????

Thanks.

I'm a little surprised though. Hopefully down the road he'll change his mind. I'd be willing to bet that he'd sell more brushguards alone than the whole combo.

It's about finding room with the stock setup to have hinges, clasps and release levers....

I'm guessing it has more to do with time constraints than feasibility. It seems like he just has too much to do right now. Which is why I said I hope he'll do it down the road. Besides, it really doesn't need some fancy mechanism. Just look at the OEM ones for the H1/H2 or the Realwheels one.

Is Sewie Crabby, Sluggish? It's not just women who are susceptible to shifting hormones. If your Wheelin' buddy is behaving like a bear, he could be suffering from what's being called "irritable male syndrome" or IMS.

He just needs some......

I'm feeling much better. Thanks for the advice.

I think the biggest issue is going to be to have close tolerances between a pin and a hole and having hard enough steel on both that the won't wear each other making LARGE tolerances and creating noises and rattles..

With the weight of the guard pulling back and bouncing on the pin or catch release mechanism as well as the hinge, it's going to be a constant battle against wear.. The Amstar wrap around sits on supports on the hood, so it's doesn't stress the catch and hinge as much...
