But you can go out to 120mm and mirror it, right?

It won't look how I want it to doing it that way. It's not a huge deal. Just wanted to try and emboss my logo in it.

Good on you for fixing it before sell rather than selling it to the next sucker. Good.

Look right to me.
If you load the suspension you need the arch near the end to clear the tie rod and the end looks like it will get far closer to 90 degree angle to the bar links.


Edit;
How it drawn in online parts books too.

That's a little scary. My oldest was born 6 weeks early, and spent the first two weeks in the hospital.
