<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Gray, how would you set them up without a sleeve? I
like this setup and a better way to install it would be great. Can you elaborate
on your statement. Thanks</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV><BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>Speaking of the CF push rod set
ups, I would like to share a little info. I just finished installing my second
CF. elev. pushrod assem. in a Impact, the first was in my Majestic. In the

face=Arial size=2>This kit comes with a thin walled Teflon outer case and even
with a slight bow or arc in the assem. the system remains Very friction
free.</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>For the Impact I purchased the kit
from Central and it comes with plastic outer cases and these were difficult to
get smooth and friction free, the slightest bend or arc made the movement very
stiff and as a matter of fact, I could not even use them and ended up using
hollow CF. rod for the outer case which worked very well but slight bends or
arcs are out of the question. Just my personal experience, yours may
differ.</FONT> <BR><FONT size=3>--</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif

when using a CF rod. Teflon is also heavy, and bonds very poorly, if at
all.</B><BR><BR><BR><BR>Gray Fowler<BR>Principal Chemical
