Why use 4 letters when 6 will do? Textual equivalence to stainless over-braid? wink
Now, now there's no need for that Gary laugh I'm only repeating one of the corrections in terms a proper old school fabricator I once knew insisted on a long time ago.

Tuscan race cars have tubular wishbones and we crash those on a regular basis LOL....... either the bone folds or the mountings bend. Never chassis damage.
Thats because we have rose joints that twist on the thread and have lots of articulation. If they had normal bushed mounts we'd be ripping mounts. Kevs speed 6 mullers the chassis everytime.
