Loosing weight on a TR4:

I also use the odyssay 620 in 90% of the cars that I build. Avg. life span is
3-4 years.

I have made Cast/ heat treated Alloy to T6 Brake caliper mounts. Saves 1.5 lbs
and also I have made c/moly tubular sway bars. 4.5lbs less than the solid
7/8's bar. Can do 3/4 also. Bars are also h/treated.

PM if interested.



Thx

Tony
