I've used these before on a set we built for a friend, heard about them from Joe, CSIPSD, very nice, and with simple fab skills, easy enough to build.

Yes, I fabbed them up with a motor on a stand to get placement and alignment right, but essentially cut, remove and weld. BTW I edited my post above, I used the 4" long not the 6" so I changed the link.

Thanks Al,
Been looking at bellowed uppies but having a hard time justifying $400+ to replace something that's working just fine. This may be an acceptable alternative.
