the bond facility has helped me out a tonne already!

i dont think he will get back to me by tommorow cause im going to go tommorow to make it

i think if time permits im also going to make those pins instead of using bolts like i origionally planned to use

Use stainless steel. You will want the weight to make the shifts smoother.
I put a Rogue SSK in my 528i and it came with the rod, and it was heavy.

i decided to use hardned steel cause it was free

gonna finnish it tommorow then send it to get powdercoated so it dosent rust, its commin along pretty good
