Thanks Pat. It was nice to meet you the other evening and I'm glad you like the PHB.
I checked out your website, that looks like a fun toy you're building. |

It took me a while to work that out, but it works perfectly. Glad it worked for you as planned.

QUOTE (firehawkclone @ Mar 8 2005, 11:13 PM) Hey kevin do you have the steel one's made yet? The parts for the Heavy Duty version are here for me to play with. It is stout, but it weighs about 9 lbs (with ends). Oof. I didn't mean to make it that stout.... I'm going to put it on my car and see if it removes the last little bit of tire rubbing I had at the last event. I don't know if it was PHB flex (I was running a thinwall prototype PHB that was laying around the garage) or just standard rubbing. I'll find out soon. I'll try to post a few pics when I get a chance. |

That's the new bar. Those are not the good rod ends however.

(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) I guess I didn't realize exactly how beefy this one would be. I knew it was overkill, I just didn't figure out the weight. Somebody needed to build a PHB for 3 second drag cars.... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/nutkick.gif) I don't think it will flex....

Does anyone have a steel PHB (rod end style) from BMR or someone to weigh? I can't remember what my old BMR unit weighed.
Anyone? |
