No, I never went that far to get cost because I couldn't get the comments.

John, That message #21876 was back in Dec 2001. I think now, 6 years later the need for some spare bars is more important than ever. Assuming you could still get in contact with that vendor, I don't see why the same number of owners who put up money for a new headlight switch wouldn't be willing to do the same for a spare torsion bar (assuming the bar actually gets made) I'd be willing to pay $500 or so for a spare for my car as well as one for the car I'm restoring for a family friend. Did the vendor ever respond with a price breakdown? --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "John Hervey" <john@...> wrote: > > Marc, It wasn't so much the machine but the technology.
