They look good. I noticed they didn't mark the boxes on the back to show which model each kit it is for. I hope they're the right ones and the instructions are in English or at least has pics to go by.

Does it look like there will be a problem with the install?
If they sent the wrong ones tell them to send the right brackets.

Aw man that sucks that it isn't bolt up. I didn't know that Carryboy was a Thai product. Reading the Thai right now

I'm waiting to hear back from the carryboy distributor
in thailand.
I hope they straighten it out quickly.

Same here on paying for them. But I'll wait a few days for you to hear back from them and see what the resolution is going to be. In case they air mail the right brackets so you wont have to ship twice.

I'm sure we can find some way to make them work even if we have to fabricate brackets ourselves.

Hi jimmy,
Add one set for me., if you have a spare one, of course.
BTW, my Methology came in today but I was not home for delivery clearance. Postal Services is best... minimal custom fees to Canada (only $10.40Can).

Thanks for the precise and detailled instructions. It will be most helpful for when I do my install.
Looks great, so why would you want to set the lower brachet further back?

in the current spot the hood doesnt open as far as the prop rod did. not to mention the secondary position is no longer usable for major work.

WOW, that was fast!
My package came in today, but the brackets were pre-assembled on the rotule already
Jimmy, do you partly assemble the struts prior to shipping?

Anyway, it will be such a kick to have these installed and functional.
Thanks for the generous deal.
