Trailing Arm Bolts - Update

["tmpintnl" <tobyp@xxxx>]

Hello List - PNDC just had a fantastic Spring Tech Session, and we 
gained some more experience with our nemesis, the TAB. 16 members 
were in attendance, and about half a dozen wanted to get some TOBY-
TAB's installed. (Most of the rest already had them in.). Every 
single car that we performed the installation on had bent bolts to 
one degree or another. Two were bent substantially, and the bushing 
sleeves were seized onto the bolts. The rubber bushings were 
seriously damaged, and required replacement. Most of the people had 
decided to change out the bolts for the extra added "peace of mind", 
and had no idea of the condition of their bolts. Two cars had lost 
all of the alignment shims on one side, and the joint was "sloppy 
loose". Are you 30%'s out there paying attention to this? (I am 
referring to the poll that concluded that 30% of DeLorean owners 
responding didn't have a clue about their TAB's). Okay, I'm through 
ranting.

We took some photo's of the front suspension links installed on 
Winged1, as well as my rear sway bar installation. I will upload 
some of them very soon. The links are working out very well so far.

PS - Thanks to Bruce Benson and Jim Reeve for the good times while I 
was in Minneapolis. You guys are the best.
