Hi you all,

I just got word from the manufacturer that all torsion bars are at heat
treating for one week and the shipping date is presently still open, but I
guess it will be very soon and I estimate the Torsion Bars will go out to
each of you by 3-15-2014. By the way I had 27 Torsion Bar sets assigned
(more than 15 we talked about) and everybody paid on time including the
shipping charge to their location, that said I collected 54 checks that had
to be sent to me, everybody cooperated super and it was quite a challenge.
Thank you guys! Each location required a different shipping cost and
naturally California Sales taxes had to be collected. There is a question
how to install the new Torsion Bars. Well, grease up the A frame and enter
the Torsion Bar, the rear at the pork chop should show either L.H or R.H..
Use your existing pork chops. You will be pleased with new torsion Bar as I
was 22 years ago when I redesigned it 19% heavier with the same
manufacturer.

Best Regards

Peter D. Huber

Maybe everyone that installs the new torsion bars, that don't want to hang onto the old ones, could make them available to others.

We need a virtual warehouse for such things.
