tx fatdaddy, sounds like a match! i got nothin left but the bottoms of the frames to measure. iget, on the sides, 30 inches. then between the two sides i measure 22 and 1half inches. plus the couple inches you got to play with when you mount them.... this is great news. if a 83 will fit, that much more likely that a 79 will!!!! and i know this realy GREAT GUY (charming, good looking, just a super dude) that has a set. ;) ;)

cool, cant wait to hear from LES.
