Re: [DML] Modified Trailing Arms For 1/2" Bolts

["Jon Lockwood" <jn_lockwood@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have some aircraft titanium, if you want to pay ;-)  Not really worth it i 
my opinion.  Wouldn't have to repace them ever again.  The car would be gone 
in 200 years but the Bolts would still be there..  Just throwing my 2 cents 
in.
