Is RaceCraft no longer a sponsor? Says they are banned? Would it be a bad idea to order from them?

Racecraft Inc. is no longer a sponsor.

Racecraft Inc. is no longer a sponsor because we refuse to pay $550.00 a month to post our products on this forum. I will continue to participate as a just a regular guy, not as a business. Madman is a dealer for our products, you can get all of our products from Brian and Steve. I would like to thank all of you guys for buying our products and we have many new things coming in the future, stay tuned.

Thanks for the support,

Mark Wilkinson

Screw sponsoring this site, kudos to you racecraft for not doing it.

$550 a month when your banner is 2 pages down from the top 3/4 of the time where noone will see it anyway is retarded.

This site was a ton better before John and Tony sold it.

But look at the +, you can now read ad's on where to get a college degree online

The brackets look great too by the way. When I did my seats a couple years ago I put them right on the floor, put a couple washers on the stock studs then just mounted the seat on the back 2 studs then bolted it to the brace off the cage. Seat is nice and solid, but had these been out when I did the seats I probably would have taken this route.

Firefox with adblock + addon and I dont see any ads, not even the sponsor banners. Makes going to forums much more tolerable..

The crossmember where the rear two seat mounting studs are there is a hole in top already, I just drill through the bottom and use a long 7/16 bolt with a large diameter washer on the top/bottom and a locknut. It ends up right under your rear end, its supposed to be anchored at or a little behind the chest line so it works out if you have the seat as far back as I do.

Does it fit with a rocker bar though? Looks pretty tight down low.

cbra-kllr and kp, how close are the kirkeys to hitting the roof?

They are 35" tall right? I just measured from my carpet to the top of my stock seat it is about 34"... so a kirkey with brackets is going to be tall!
