fatmans are 5/16 wall tubing . if there is another out there i have not seen it . most others a made from 3/16 , in some cases less , flat plate welded together.
the original crossmember is stamped with a rolled edge for strength and also has an added plate where the lower a-arm bolts on . while the installation of his leaves something to be desired it could be saved with some clean up .
another option would be a fatman stub to replace the front frame section. i just did this on a 37 that had an older mll kit under it . it was the early version that kept the strut rods with the 1/2 plate mount so it fatigue cracked in numerous places .
tried to upload pics but they are pretty large.Last edited by shine; 11-15-2012 at 03:31 PM.
