That thing was impressive! The center section extended at least 1/2"-3/4" above and below the cover. It didn't just have a cast 'collar' extending from the casting to hold the tubes...it had a heavily buttressed collar with front and rear, top and bottom, added webbing to suppost the tubes. It was one fine looking hunk of meat. Eight lug floater, dually drums, no tag for gear set. One of those babies you want just to have!
