Dan,
Peter Kent told me he measured a Rover (3.5 or 3.9, don't remember
which) and found it to be 8.957". Dan LaGrou, of D & D Fabrications, told
me over the phone that the BOP is 8.960".
Are 6" rods available with the 2" diameter bearings? From whom?
I would definitely like to hear further explanation regarding a
long rod's effect on induction limited configurations. Does it in any way
relate to the "rod ratio" which we see mentioned often?
Regards,
David Kernberger
