A design utilizing thicker bar stock of steel alloy versus aluminum alloy would be stronger. This would provide more material for supporting the bearing and should also reduce the number of NLG linkage failures that occur. I am very interested in the improved NLG links and MLG links if you also decided to make those. Good luck and keep us posted. =20 Doug Raupp L235 =20 ------_=_NextPart_001_01C75B63.DB66807D Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
