Not a materials engineer here but I'm presuming this bar isnt under stress at any point, therfore can survive as long in the engine despite the zombie attack?
It's not steel it's brass, the force is rotational, it's made from stock dowl, and as I haven't any intention of hanging off it, it'll be fine.

Cheers Mark.

with the butterfly inserted and fixed in place it's more than strong enough, it would cost more to produce if the manufacturer was to profile it when made.

I haven't done it up until now as with the Header mod I intend I will need an ignition advance to help it perform the best, of course having the tuneboy software, I can now do that dynamically across the rev range to best effect.

Cheers Mark.

No, a knackered arm from a real leather chair, actually.
And there was me thinking, that rear tyre's really knackered .
