Yes, I am nervous. I'd like to make one but jeez, at 80 bucks the van cafe unit makes more sense. But if I *was* to make one I'm wondering if the tube stub connections are the same diameter as the 2wd version ( I have one of those in my parts bin). If so I would only need measurements locating the stubs on the central tower.
