What if John's is better, or easier to install? Or maybe Steve's is
better and this whole discussion isn't necessary. I don't think one
solution to a problem should foreclose further consideration of it.
We'd still be making tools out of bone it that were the case.
We should all be supportive of those who take the time and effort to be
innovative but when new ideas or new versions of old ideas are
suggested, we should ask questions about whether its actually better or
not. I see on Bob's website on this issue there a number of suggested
remedies but he likes the delrin option the best. Why not ask John why
his is better?

John;
You apparently have time to make copies of other people's part,
including Art Lipp's
and Patton Machine products. What the sense and where's the ethics of
THAT? Before
you decide to "create" an item, check to see if anyone's already making
it. If there is,
don't copy it! Simple, no?

Dave. I make my shop available to the club members in this area to do
projects. I have made parts runs for our members and offered left over
sets. I run a medium corporation and do not have time to make $20.00
parts. I stopped making the TR6 rear shock adapters a year ago. The part
I and a friend worked on without benefit of looking at Art's or Bob's
websites. I adapted bearings and collars so the entire project can be
done in about 15 minutes from under the hood. I hate working in very
tight spaces. When I do the final fittment I will put the info on the
web and you can do what you want with it. John Horton
