Nope, just add a spacer to make the top arms. You can see them in the one shot. That jig will make 12 different arms.

Thanks a bunch, I've been doing this for a long time.
Even a mop absorbs something.

The material I use is D.O.M. And after almost a year of use, we can't hurt them. And DVS1 has tried and tried, he just can't do it. My set has only been on for half the riding year this year, still like new.
Kinda nice having a very aggressive R&D department.

As much as I would like to, for the time being, I am unable to make them.
I'm lucky I can make a mess right now.

Hurt? No way. Like landing on a feather pillow. Thanks for the picture Mike.
