Some of the last lot I sent out the bolt which goes through the outboard joint may be a bit tight as I old pressed the collets in by hand so they will loosen up when properly tightened by tightening the nut and the bolt.

Gonna fit them this weekend so I'll send you some pictures of a Miltek VXT. Problem is I need to reduce the photo size and I haven't a program anymore. Is there a free download for this?

Paul,

I am currently installing the rods, more pics to come later

this message to report you that I had to chamfer the slotted spacers, cause the screws don't go through with the sharp edges - no big deal though
