I've had an alternative to the stock "E-Z breaks" in the works for months, but it's become kind of a back burner project.
I found some rather large cap screws, & by large I mean the heads on these things are nearly as large as the stock e-z breaks.
Anyway, rather than tack weld anything, I epoxied the proper size nuts to washers that I'm going to pop rivet in place on the bacl side of the female part of the stock location.
Is this making any sense ???

Just throwin it out there as an E-Z alternative to welding. (not that there's anything wrong with that)

Excuse me, that Sienfeld reference didn't go unnoticed, did it ?

I'll try to post some pics tomorrow.
