You only need it for the long side of the axle next to the pumpkin.

Yup. That's steal alright!

Geez. I can make one myself but for just the trouble of making cardboard templates alone (leaving out transfering to the steel, cutting, and finishing), I'd rather just spend the 23.5 bonz that costs. Looks like excellent quality!

It would be sweet if he'd offer "your own letters here" (8 max) type thing.

Makes ya wish for a cnc lazer cutter huh?

Nope the solid axle pumpkin is on the passenger side, not in the center like the rear.
