[DML] Re: Torsion Bars

["tmpintnl" <tobyp@xxxx>]

We have a member in the PNDC who has two struts on each door ... a 
smaller one at the front, and the normal one at the rear. The 
modification is relatively easy. I will try to get some information 
on how it was done. I saw the installation, and it is quite slick. 
This could take some of the strain off of the bars. I know that the 
couple had to exert more effort to get the doors closed than a normal 
car. Reducing the stress on the bars would probably allow this 
configuration to work just like a stock door in terms of ease of door 
movement.
