Anybody in the Indy area have the capability of putting about a 10 degree kink in my draglink? I need a little more tire clearance in tight left turns...
It's a heavy-duty Spike aluminum piece.

The first suggestion isn't too bad, but if I wait for the second one to happen I'm not too confident the bend would end up in the right place. Actually, this thing's so beefy I'm pretty sure it would be the last component on the frontend to yield.
I'm not too far from Ralph's place on 16th st., the home of "Mr. Bendo"; the wife and I salute him every time we drive by in the same manner he salutes passers-by, with the clenched fist aimed in the general direction of the late 16th Street Speedway...

I'm going to take it up to Joe Liguori's shop on Sunday, but I saluted Mr. Bendo this afternoon. Doesn't surprise me that the city got it's knickers in a twist over him. I think the Indian on Main Street in Montpelier may be a distant Native Ancestor of Mr. B's; there's certainly a strong resemblance in posture and stature...

Hah! Didn't know Mr. Bendo had such a big family. Far more with the "Paul Bunyan holding an axe" pose than the outstretched fist, which only solidifies the bloodline (resinline?) back to the Montpelier indian, in my mind...
