Jerry,
I don't see where anyone but you has held the Hotchkiss information to be any type of engineering thesis or analysis?? I simply pointed out that in that information they referenced that several of the OEM's are now using hollow ARB's as a regular part of their design process, allowing them to tune the suspension by simply increasing or decreasing the wall thickness of the tubing. Porsche was one cited, and I find it difficult to imagine that the suspension engineers at Porsche are concerning themselves with pennies saved, nor that they're focused on straight line acceleration. It's purely up to you, but I don't see any need to further pollute Steve's build thread with more discussion of tubular ARB's. Seems that they are widely used in the racing world, as well as in production design, and only a few of us fossils didn't know about it. I, for one, appreciate being set straight and learning something new.

Steve, I really like the final finish on the end pieces. Great work!!
