Axial: Broken Lower Link Mount Fix

[cliff]

I dont know if this has been done before but here is my fix.

The story goes like this, I was going through my stuff and starting another build, only to find broken lower link mounts.
Being a tigharse I though how hard could it be to make something that wont break again, and here is the results.
This is how it started out:

Cost $1 from Bunnings.
With a few cuts with the 4" and a tack with the mig this is the finished product:

So you can braise this if you like, I just used the mig 'cause I cant find my braising gear after the move.
Here are a couple with them mounted, testing to follow.

im making something similar with aluminum channel but to act as risers

well after some pretty serious testing they have held up really well and I'll be heading down to my local hardware store over the weekend to get somemore parts to do the other trucks, I will be looking a seeing if I can get them to somehow come from under the axle too, for better protection of the link, and to make it look more scale
