Just checked it out. I had something similar cut out of my wrist last year. It was called a Ganglion Cyst i think...

Wasn't too painful, more annoying than anything. It just sucked being left handed and having limited use of my left hand haha. Hope your op goes well anyway man.

No idea how i actually did it, but i'm pretty sure i done it in an ATV accident. Then i had another less serious ATV crash and made it worse lol. Just lucky i found out when i started going to a Chiropractor :)

Lowering blocks turned up today :D

Huge ass U-bolt

I just need to get a drill bit to drill out the holes for the u-bolts. Other than that, they don't need to be modified at all to fit. Not bad for $85 inc. postage :)

I need a set of them. Who was the guy who made them on ebay? Can he do various sizes? ie. 1 inch-3 inch?

The company is Rapid Auto Spares and the bloke's name is Marty. He can make them to whatever size you want, you just have to give him the measurements of everything. The only downside was the u-bolts, apparently 12mm thick 57mm internal diameter is the smallest he has, so you just have to drill out the holes 2-3mm so they fit in.

It took 5-6 weeks to get them (typical Ebay fark around) but i was happy with the result, especially not having to modify them because im a lazy c**t lol.
