inserts allow it)

Make sure to be carefull to clear the tire. If you are welding a ring (big 
thick washer) on youll need to grind it flush with the strut housing on the 
tire side for clearance of you can get a pre-fab clearanced piece from Ground 
Control

5. drop the threaded sleeve overtop of the strut housing, and drop that
pig to the deck!

YUP =-)

	does all this sound plausible?  is there another way to keep the lower
perch in place?  should i cut grooves into the strut housing and work
some large circlips in there instead??>>

Definately not! You should try not to cut into the housing when removing the 
lower basket as it maked a huge stress riser (sp?)

any part you need should be available from Ground Control or Carrera.
