Hogged out the small end...

Look's good, what brand rod is that ?{ scat, eagle, Oliver }
Good luck with the knee, hoping for a speedy recovery .
Older style Crower... The newer style has threaded rod bolts and a slightly different contour on the beam.

When I showed a photo of those rods to member dart19666 (works for Crower) he said "WOW Those are OLD rods...but still good!".

About 1999-2003 vintage I believe. That works because my deal was originally built in '93 for the next race season.
