Re: [DML] Re: TOBY-TAB update

I think it was also discussed in the past that the bolt itself, under 
normal movement, will pivot and the end of the bolt will move around - 
and beng held captive by this bracket may either affect the movement of 
the rear arm (and I for one think there MUST have been some reason it 
was done in this apparently poor way - Lotus is not known for making 
mistakes in this sort of thing!) or simply not work at all.

I've done several sets of TABs and finding a strait OEM bolt is 
somewheat of a novelty. Here'a an example

(that particular bolt was cut out, but is laid out in the photo in its 
original shape)

As for price... well, I personally think $60 is damn good value for 
insurance alone. How manu potentially dangerous design flaws can be 
corrected with such a small and simple outlay?

PS We don't supply those bolts to the US.
