Yea, but you had Danica Patrick there with a one-sleeve outfit on to brighten up the race. And Marco Andretti crashing out on lap 1 to keep the Andretti curse alive.......

Ron - is the input shaft different on the Bora?

Sweet

Similar to the person that puts a spacer on a 5-lug wheel. The lugs (or pins) are there to center the wheel rotationally and resist the torque applied when driving and loads encountered from the mass of the car. The smaller they are, the more load that is applied over a shorter...

So you bought the 3/4" drive or 1/2"

Wow, what great work Douglas. How do you plan to deepen the recess?
