They will provide steel specs if asked. They have some real oddities , like 1mm longer or shorter for various applications, so its obvious they make for performance applications, not just replacement for mom and dad shopping carts<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Terry<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Australia<o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Sat, Sep 19, 2020 at 3:58 AM Phil Gott via Fot <<a href="mailto:fot@autox.team.net">fot@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in'><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Has anyone used these?
