nice. Thats the housing I need. Looks like he sleeved the stock 60 tubing rather turn and press new tubing in the knuckles. Not how I'd do it, but I wouldn't paint it red either.

The 9" center can be built alot stronger than the D60 and have MUCH more ground clearence. 9" centers and housings are very easy to find. I would say they are a whole lot easier than finding a D60 center.

a center other then an EB one can be used...its just the one that flem prefers.

I've got my reasons why I want to keep it this way. It goes against the opinion of the majority that says full width is a good thing, but its how I want it.
