Oops, wasn't thinking there. Did not mean to conduct a commerce
discussion on the list. Brain on automatic pilot. Sorry...

Hi Ted:
OK, I'll bite. Are they good and strong and not going to break? And
last, very last, how much do they cost? Not rich, but have actually had
the joy of highway driving and having the steering disconnect from the
wheels. A most curious sensation. A feeling of looseness in the hands,
followed by a similar feeling about 2 feet lower down.
Cheers,
Mark

Mark and list. You might look at our urethane rack mounts. We have
these poured to our specs. Not quite as firm as solid mounts but still
gives the same net results - positive rack rack location without the
possibility of steering column feedback. Ted
