Hey Jason,

Here are a couple pics of my kit box:

Unfortunately, I do not have manual.

As soon as I dig out my Race Prep catalog, I will post it.

I have a scanned copy of the manual already. I thought I got it from this site, but I can't remember.

it's about 1.6meg zipped. shoot me a PM with your email addy if you want a copy.

as far as cutting the arms, you can put them gently in a bench vise with your cut line in line with the vise face, and cut across the top of the vice as a saw guide with a hacksaw. then trim and touch up on a belt sander. simple.

the other option is to just get rid of the arm altogether and just run 2 links with 4 end links(not ball links). when you tighten everything up, the 2 links will triangulate and will act just like a single adjustable arm.

That is EXACTLY what I did to friends radiant back in the day......

The best bit about putting the links only in is that you dont have that "sphincter pinching" moment when cutting into the rare orange upper arm!! :lol:

Good tip my man - and one I had completely forgotten!

Cheers
