RE: Torque steer part II

["Smith, Mike" <msm@team.co.uk>]

Hi Stuart,

C&R fitted the brace bar for me. It was on their four poster with its wheels
in the air at the time, and it was a right pain to do. This was long before
the prang though.

I am a member of the Scirocco Register. Why? Do you think they may have some
ideas?

Mike
