    Addition to build......

    Just came back from Janesville Wi. where I picked up the latest addition to my build. Had Duane Snow fab up a custom mirror bracket out of stainless steel. We worked out the dimensions before hand, and I polished the piece while it was still flat. Took it to Duane and he did the bends and did all the drilling.
    Out of all the mirror brackets I've had on my Dynes this one seems like it will afford the best visability.

    It looks like it is set up for the big speedos, do you have a set?

    I purchased a brand new set of Airguides from Greg Hind in Australia.

    Mike,

    If you're serious about getting one , I'll ask him.

    ( He doesn't get into polishing them however.)

    ( An addition to the factory Hydrodyne pylon on my new project boat. )

    Modified it to for the cut down center boom and polished up
    the mounting plates.
