Re: IML: HD Torsion Bar Question

["Frank Winnips" <frank@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

My '72 coupe has the heavy duty torsion bars which could have to do with the 
sure brake.
Since my broadcast sheet says noting about a special order and it doesn't 
have a towing package...

I guess the only difference is a 1.06" diameter in stead of 1.02" for the 
standard bars. If you want me to take some measurements let me know.

So you might want to keep a look out for a sure brake Imp at the junk yard. 
If you find one let me know, I could use some spares too ;-)

Cheers, Frank
