How can left be 10 3/4 and right 8"??? The left is smaller than the right, do you have these 2 swapped??? Also, I'm missing the forward mounting tabs for the nose bar, do they not come w/ those or did you not add these?

When I get back to work, I'll draw this up in CAD and see if we can nail down that angle on the front.

Pat,
There are a couple of key dimensions that are missing. When Nick gets back to me with them, I'll post up my CAD drawing.

I noticed that also, coudl you give me the dimensions or better the cad file? I have access to a CNC punch and brake and that way I could whip up these things in no time.
