WTG Rick ... Nice !
Joe, do you remember the first gen Dynamic tongue with the full open center slot (no ladder rung) cast version?
Not as strong but those did have the ultimate wheelbase adjustability.

Great stuff as usual Rick! Perfect for doing a bit of scratchbuilding too...
Here are the pieces for the front end. A 5/32" axle tube, 1/16" piano wire uprights and a slightly reshaped prototype R-Geo Midwest guide tongue:
Everything soldered up in my Rick's Jig:
Here's the buffed up front end:

Rodney bought all I had Rick. LOL...
Bob, before my time, but these are just Dynamic friendly, not clones or exact copies. Made from .050 thick to take a hit and keep going. They just work/fit the Dynamic platform................

Rick B,
You didn't miss anything .. they were less then they are 'cracked' up to be. 
The two styles you make will fulfill the need for all those with good motor mounts still out there.

Amazing 
... Do you also make jewelry? ... Fathers day is right around the corner.

Rick,
The shorter versions were used for 1/32 or if you used Dynamics
drop arm hinge to make the length of the drop arm the right size.
