Dave951M and Russ must REALLY be working on a secret project. They have not responded to my inquiry here on the web boards AND they have not responded to the private e-mails I sent to them. The suspense is killing me . . .

Seriously, if you guys (or anyone else for that matter) have designed a light weight torque tube, I am all ears.

Jeff,

Dave is on the road a lot with his job so my guess is he is one either one of his long drives or had to take a swing out to the west coast.

The project is a good one, and it will hopefully yield a much lighter torque tube, should actually make the car more stable at speed by moving the mass % to the outside of the car.

Should be interesting....

I bought them (C4 clearance) at what used to be Detroit Ball Bearing - I think they're called Invetech now.
