I talked to him $300 a set or so. Seem like a good deal, but I could
not get him to commit when he would get them manufactured again -- he
was out of stock and needs the use of a special nitrogen [I think,it
may be some other gas] oven to cure them in, and the company with the
oven had just won an aerospace contract.

OK, I'll admit to being a sucker for all sorts of gimmicks...I mean ah
er, I'm always looking for that competitive edge...anyway, in the latest
Motorsport mag there's an ad for composite lifters from JM Automotive or
some such. Has anyone tried any of these units? The concept sounds good
as I've never quite believed that 2 similar metal faces under extreme
pressure would just happily "glide" across each other, but in acutality
this could be just another case-o-snake-oil.
Anyone used these thing? Heard of anyone using them? Know of a guy whose
cousin's nextdoor neighbors brother-in-law swears by them?
I need a lift...
