The cup! yep we thought we had done the design and trials properly, or I think had a false sense of confidence, the workshop I use the guys son is an engineer for Team NZ, and I know there work load was tremendous in his dept. but oh well heres hoping NZ will look at the big picture and give it another go!

Aluminium is better than steel and would give a little bit softening over that!
will look at Ron Butlers website if he has one, or call them!

I see on the Net some outfits make a mount up with a simple small urethane bush integrated, I would emagine this would do a lot, but they appear expensive at $US199, I might contemplate making some, but by the time I get the right materials its sometimes better to buy, what I think most V8 Aussie Falcons, maybe Mustangs etc use!

Hotfingrs:

Thanks and urethane has done the job for you and lasting!
