Good luck, Bart
I had thought of that set up but became concerned about the torque applied to the front of the head. I figure that a 6 to 8 inch lever plus the torque of the motor at full squirt, 10 pounds of boost etc would/could cause some problems with the head lifting, twisting or distorting? i dont know, am i being too much of a puss here? am i over reacting on the forces at work here?
