Thanks for the pic, I'm sold on that idea. Dealer is going to send new ones and I'll have to make the mod. Anyone know the closest spray paint color offhand?

Rust-Oleum Professional Safety Blue 7524 Home Depot or Lowes or ACE should carry it. It is what I call "implement close" to factory..LOL

I reckon that the 'dog leg' brackets purposely serve as a sacrificial weak-point for when the FEL is (inadvertently, of course) over-stressed. [None of us would ever abuse our FEL, would we? ]

Why else would these parts consistently be manufactured and installed as an non-reinforced bar of steel?

My 300CX has the same non-reinforced bars.

I know what you mean, by beefing it up I kinda feel like I'm putting in a bigger fuse

My local farm and home store carries a "Ford Blue" tractor paint. Is that the closest to LS blue? They also carry a New Holland blue.

I think there is several options for "close" blue colors out there but i do not think Ford blue or New Holland is the closest.

I've seen other use these options with successful results.

Rust-Oleum Sail blue (very close)
Krylon Safety blue
NAPA custom mixed spray cans. (if you NAPA has a paint department, they can make an exact match)
