Chris - That would be 24-hours PER corner for you...you will install and replace each corner at least two-times due to a hair-like flaw in the weld! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

They will be trimmed, stretched/shrank and spend some time on the English wheel for sure. |
