have been having another bash at the power rack situatioin, and changing back to a king linkpin beam
the shock towers will be taught a lesson in clearing the shocks

then i can think about removing the bearings and cutting down the end of the beam by 20mm

mounts for the power rack made using 1/4" plate, tacked toger unti i'm happy with it

the arm with the tape around it, i'll be wanting to cut it down to the tape line, if i can get the bolt out
