<DIV>Maybe I'm just lazy...but you're right, doing an on-site bracket job is not ideal. </DIV>

<DIV>Your action hauler is great. A hand truck would probably work pretty well, too. Nice pics of a future tech hard at work! </DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>IMHO, I would go to very great lengths to not do an action bracket replacement job on-site. Often you'll have to make some repairs to the action frame, and almost always a full regulation will be needed.</FONT></DIV>
