They're great - that is all but for their excessive cost. We used hundreds, if not thousands on every GE gas turbine, depending on size, we shipped.

funny this thread should make its way up again. i was going to make a new thread last night to ask a question, but i couldn't get on the site. i finally got my frame painted and just about have all the suspension back together. I need help now figuring out how to route my lines because my X is solid and doesn't allow me to run the lines through to the front. i was thinking about using a "through frame" fitting straight off the MC?

here is a couple pics to help visualize...






also what are these things that come in the rotors?

sorry for the big pictures...i'm a 20 something and i still don't know how to make them smaller . it's probably a dumb question, but i really don't know why those clips pictured above are in the rotors, HELP?

i think i have the routing figured out now. i went to advance auto to look at thier pre flared lines before making my Speedway order for everything and they have those which i believe i can make work in the lengths they have. they also have what i believe they call "poly carbon" brake lines? they are also pre flared with a copper coating inside? and some zinc coating and UV coating on the outside? they are greenish in color...can anyone tell me anything about these? is this something anyone has used?

Open an account with Photobucket, www.photobucket.com download your pictures then copy to here using the bottom of the 4 listed ways to insert in an on-line forum. But be aware that if you delete photos from there, they delete from a forum. Also, many digital cameras come with a low level program that usually lets you downsize a picture. Your pictures about made me cross eyed from the size .

Those clips - most likely for balance

soooo I'm supposed to leave the clips on? hmmm...what if I already tried prying one off??

35 Webshots is another good one easy to work .
