OUCH!! That sucks! what are you going to do now? Are you gonna get new arms off of Dean? He guarantees them against any breakage. |

Once you get it fixed make your tree bars 1/2" to 1" wider then your tires. That looks the cause of your entire problem. It looks like your tires stick out 8 |

An easy fix would be to weld some flat stock to the back edge of the tree bars. Like Roy has here. Yours would have to be much bigger unless it |

[quote='wildwillie']yes if it was me id come along it and weld it.put the money in to front brakes so it dosent happen agian.[/quote] I agree, I would put the extra money in the front braking system to help slow down going down hills, it makes and night and day difference. I started out on my old buggy that had no front brakes, and going down hills with it is too fast and it is hard to control, I should've put a set of front brakes on it, but got rid of it to build me a new one.
