Looks like the MMM XL will be out soon, so gonna have to get my azz in gear tho :)
I did get in the Mugen arms and carriers before I left and did some sizing up to get a rough idea if it can work. The bottom arms should be fairly easy to mount. Just a couple spacers will be needed. I will have to remove the material where the lower arm pins go thru on the FLM bulkhead. The arms will just be held by the braces truggy style, which should be fine. Making me a bit nervous to go hacking up the bulkhead just yet tho.
It did seem like I will gain about 8-10mm ea side over the XL width tho. That's w/ 0 offset hubs also. Offset hubs can push that to 20+mm. Its hard fought for a bit of width, but hopefully its worth it. I don't need to do anything that will ruin the bulkheads if I decide the mugen arms don't work out well and decide to go back to the Sav arms. If anything, str should be the same, but a little less weight and nowhere for pins to bend in and get stuck.
As I thought, the ugly bit will be to figure out the top arms. Here's a pic of the Sav adj arm mounted to with the mugen arm. The arm is way shorter. so I need either a long turnbuckle and some type of coulper to attach the pillowball, or find some way to use the Mugen upper arms. I'm worried this will be the weakpoint in the design. Got a couple ideas, but nothing great so far.
