    Des,

    Check with Ed Womer who made Brian some Citation arms and he can advise on wall
    thickness or possibly make you some trailing arms with added strength?

    Good luck!

    Desmond,

    My Adams FST with disk brakes did not bend the leading arms, one snapped half under braking the first time out. I used the bigger hammer approach and made new arms out of 1.5 DOM .095 wall and never had an issue with them after that. They are heavy
