Front u bolt flip on lux

Post by diesel028 »

Whats the go with doing a u bolt flip at the front with the drivers side spring perch. It is so close to the pumpkin and the bottom of the housing doesnt seem to be round enough for the u bolt to be tightened up securely. Should i be getting a couple of tubes welded on front and rear of housing for u bolt to slide in and when bolted up it wont move on the housing. (see pics below of what Ruff did for Shorty40's buggy) or well a square ended u bolt work? Whats anyone else done to theirs?

Cheers
