We discovered a hairline crack in the base of one of the manifolds , when Randy made the gaskets to put the carbs on , another casualty of solid mounts , even if they were gusseted . They are being TIG'd and reinforced more today , hopefully running it on Friday or Saturday . We also had to fit the traction bar , that is done now .
