So here is my post from 2014, where I shared pictures of my cross member idea.
http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/index.php?sho...40&start=40 See post #70. And here are pictures from the DSE Facebook post from 2016. https://photos.app.goo.gl/56FMzxn7UwXz3UzX2 I'm thinking the main part that separates these 2 cross members from all the ohers is that they both relocated the mounting location back a few inches instead of making a huge lever off of the factory location. I know I've seen a few T56 cross members that have double humps for the exhaust so that isn't anything new and they made a more elegant arc, (which they better, mine is ugly) so I'm not going to complain there. But if that is a C channel they used it will collect a bunch of debris! If they did copy me I'll just take it as a compliment! |

If you didnt already patent it or do anything to protect the idea, then sure it could have been.... borrowed? Used as inspiration? Probably more what Trackbird says.
