Post by slowboy »

Maybe it was the Aust Production? but our subframes had square nuts welded in fro the radius arm brackets and didn't have mowog pressed in to them but were stamped.

that is what I have, it looks to be thicker material and the radius arm mounts line up with the brackets, it isn't stamped mowog though, still think its a better option than another couple I have that have no pressings and the mounts are not as in line as the other, thanks spider, am going to go with what I thought was the nearest to a mowog frame as I remember
