[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 177827, member: 456"] Yes one would have hoped so but when I had made the first ten JE steering stems I offered them to the Spares Company to market and was told with great emphasis that they would never stock non standard parts. I have now sold 320 with another 13 ready to be completed and assembled. This has worked to the financial advantage of the customers who have not had the price increased to make a profit or to be charged VAT. It has worked to my disadvantage that a significant amount of my time over the last ten years had been to get these made, pack them and ship them. The new lower links are non standard to the extent that known stress concentration points have been smoothed out and other slight modifications made to hopefully make them stronger. The January MPH will illustrate these changes. They are also designed in such a way that it would be a relatively trivial job to fit needle rollers at the front where normally the FF6 bushes go.
