Congratulations. Looks good. How does it drive?

So far it drives fine. We drove it up and down our street last night some. The ratio is still the same but the effort to turn is much better. I have a separate thread on the Comet forum and those guys recommend keeping an eye on the power ram frame bracket. Apparently the ram exerts a lot of stress on the bracket and one of the members experienced a total failure in his frame bracket where it mounts to the frame. The 2 bolts that screw into the frame nuts had worked themselves loose enough and broke off destroying the frame holes and bending the ram end. I was not able to get my nut inserts totally seated in my frame even when using a cheater bar. The inserts still had some movement but the 2 bolts when tightened along w/ the 3rd one through the frame snugged everything up nicely. I'll keep and eye on it and any leaks along the way.
