    Thanks in advance,

    Oh how satisfying it is to know I have in my possession probably the last set of drop brackets Joe Darlington will ever make for the VX... Muuuhahahaha

    Maybe, this is just a start, make some replicas from your drop differentials and give them as gifts to your VX family members.
    Peace.

    Kpaske _ I am not so sure about that. Before I got mine he offered to make me a set with the crossmember drop. His price was just higher than the offer I got from a welder.

    You might be able to find them elsewhere or have them made, but when I bought mine he told me he probably wouldn't be making any more. Either way, I'd be happy to provide pictures or measurements if someone else wants to have them fabbed up, but as long as I keep my VX, I'm keeping my drop brackets

    kpaske,

    I have a spare set of diff brackets that I want to get modified. Can you post pix/measurements?

    I found the pix in bigmeat's gallery but seem to remember a thread with a lot more detail. I can't find that thread. Can anyone help?

    Tom
