Tubular upper arms-I feel lucky tonight

72bluNblu...thankyou kindly for that high quality reply to my photo post, i appreciate your scrutiny of the pics and obvious expertise in the area. I think, going on your opinion plus my own intuition (based on the fact that these arms were manufactured over 6 years ago) that these arms should be ok to use.

I am also impressed with Dodge29's contribution - what his family has put their front ends through on the track is worth a thousand words. All said and done, he has proven that they are plenty strong enough in very harsh conditions and the CAP arms that failed were due to nothing more than a poorly welded item/poor quality control. Thanks
