Hey thanks, that is the kind of info I was curious about. I am a mech E
so I got all that. I had just been wondering, I knew I had heard of shaft
to rocker mount conversions and I didnt know why that didnt work for this,
but I figured it didnt since Patrick doesnt have a set on his SS/T yet.
Later.
