<BR>Not really a Steinwin either, because If the vertical pins were installed in the same location as the original pins, the design is wrong anyway. Preferable the pins would be placed where the (a, any) designer has decided is the best location for backlength/hinging/flex. The relocation of the rear waste length termination from the duplex bar to the hitch pin resulted in a lower impedance. I would think that a responsible retrofit would either place the pins at the duplex points or redesign the backlength to ensure an appropriate placement (either by knowing enough to design this, or consulting with someone who does). Even if the acujust type pins are located at the duplex termination points the hinging will be freer, as the difference between the duplex bar and vertical pin has been explained to me. I don't know how much difference it makes, since my design experience is non-existent, but there are those on this list who will have a more informed opinion.

<BR>If it sounds good as is, great, otherwise I wouldn't leave it as it is unless you are sure that the change in backlength did not contribute to the problem. I am not keen on returning the duplex bar without getting rid of the vertical pin, since the pin will now be inclined to creep up.

<BR>Kent Webb has gotta see this one. Get some good pictures for him, and he could use them in a program as a gag intro.
