I think you're smart not to tear into the aluminum.It's very prone to fatigue if it can get moving at all,and it'd be a shame to lose them,or have 'em come apart on you.------------------ With respect to your testing,BIG-THUMBS-UP!!!!!!!------------------ And the lesson for members and lurkers,is that all vehicles need to be assessed on a case-specific-basis.-----------------When GM ran pizza-pans on their GMC S-15 for their land speed record,they no doubt realized the importance of cleaning the air up down there.----------Thanks for all the work and time.
