Platinum Boarder Posts: 1035 Re:now what 2 Months, 4 Weeks ago   You need shorter dog bones, not longer. Just cut and take 1/4-5/16 out of each one and weld them back. I'll bet someone on here will want to buy/swap bones with you if you don't want to modify yours. Paul   Logged     I like my women like I like my coffee...
