They make great booms for diggers and modern looking cab roofs I've found.
I'll get the photos/dat files up somewhere to show my interpretations of
your 'compact excavator' and 'bobcat'. You can get much better clearance on
the studless beams for parts that rotate (like the pneumatic cylinders) as
you a) don't have the studs in the first place and b) if you do get some
touching the parts tend to slide rather than stick.
However, I'm very unhappy about the proliferation of these things and would
hate for them to kill off the old style beams.
