I think you should take the original claim to task, not Dave's reply. He was simply stating that to use the torsion bar to do more of the work is a bad idea given the failures of front door hinges on original bars, and the added "twist" then placed on a door. Do you really need figures to back that up? Sounds like common sense to me. Martin Daniel Plakosh wrote: > <snip> I assume that these are all rhetorical questions.
