On photobucket there should be a few boxes under your picture. highlight the one that says "img code" link and copy it here.

Or click the little yellow box that looks like mopuntains with a sunrise next to the quote, and copy your link in there.

[IMG]http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/l...8/IMG_0135.jpg[/IMG}

Replace the } with a ]

[Bill Potter]

or edit the post and paste those links into the pop-up box that appears after you click the icon that says "insert image" when you hover over it at the top of the message box.

Where did you get that upper link bracket for the H233b?

[williambelk587]

Nice build Jeff.

[Ghettoguy4x4]

Looks good man! What is the wheebase?

[itsme1738]

upper link bracket i got from the king (kenny).....i do beleve that steevo made them
i think only 2 sets were made, roast beef has the other...they were lazer cut 3/8
im sure if you got ahold of steevo he would make you a set

[itsme1738]

wheelbase...103 :D

[itsme1738]

hey koveman i heard you got a set of headers just layin around

[KovemaN]

That I do. They are the Thorley triple nickel, but they don't have any shine left. I picked them up in anticipation of performing the SAS on my '87 D21 so they should be correct for your '88. Are you in urgent need or can you wait a little while?

[itsme1738]

i can wait :D
