Thanks for the info on the rear setups.

Patrickt,

Why the 6 pin over the 5 pin ?

They are lighter, stronger, and less trouble than the 5 pin. You can not see the difference when the wheels are on, but when you have your wheels off you will marvel at the craftsmanship. And, they're only a grand more than the 5 pin.

A grand here, and a grand there. Pretty easy to turn a $60k build on one of these into a $75k build or more on one of these pretty quickly. Turnkey roller probably more like $80k to $100k. What's in your wallet?

Yes, he's going to be hitting some high numbers, but he knows that. The one tip I stumbled in to, and that I would pass on to him, was that after about the tenth call from Doug asking me "Do you want me to..." I finally told him "Doug, if you think it ought to be done, just do it -- you don't have to check with me." I attribute that one move as resulting in the little extras that, even to this day a decade later, I stumble upon and remark to myself "dang, look what he did, isn't that cool...."
