If yours broke at that power level, I call that defective parts. It should not be a problem.

I appreciate the feedback. I was told differently by a local machine shop, maybe he was just trying to make a buck by trying to talk me into buying one from him.
thanks

B&M

B&M makes a pretty heavy duty piece, but the price is just as heavy duty. $75!!
I have one for my car, its a solid chunk of steel.

Hey, 5th I just bought a fully loaded 88 5th. Do you have any good chrome of interior pieces. I have a couple dents in some chrome over the wheel wells and a couple of the inside swinging door frips are broken Other than that it looks new and I only gave 625 for it.
