had been running 29.5X11.5X15 phoenix which is the widest tire I could stuff under it with stock frame rails and mini tubbed. Ron, I can easily fit a 14X32W under it if I choose to but went with a 14X31 because of the rollout, my Phoenix had a 95" rollout and the 14X32's had 102 I believe,,these have 97" so the 14X31:s shouldn't have a very profound negative effect on my 60 ft's,,you cannot imagine how many times I wish you were closer,Holt racecars is a good chassis shop about an hour away that has done me a good job in the past, between you and them I got about as good a results as I could from the old combo,plus they are members here on this site,,screen name Ben Holt John, Walt told me he seen you at the sale and said they had some pretty neat and handy things there like bridgeport mills and things.

on ocasion,and I never knew when, especially on lesser prepped tracks, now on good tracks like Norwalk,National Trails and Kil-Kare it would hook like a beast and give me low 1.3x 60ft's consistantly

Nice work! Just like mine, not enough tub length to cover the back, gerrrrrr  But your solution looks clean. 
Yeah they cut the material for the tub 1.5 shorter than the radius of the end cap, this is how I fixed the origional set many years ago.
Yeah Russ I got plenty to keep me busy,,,but out of trouble???
