Folks, there has been quite a bit of interest in the adjustable tie bars in the last issue of DM. We need some old units 'as core' to get the whole exchange programme to fly. Like many of these initiatives, small batches are the way to go. The amount of old units that are needed on any exchange item are quite large as innevitably you end up with about four categories
Produced Units Ready to Go
Old Units with member awaiting return
Old units at TDC spares accumulating
Old units at manufacturer in production
Say half a dozen at each stage and you have 20 car sets of tie bars needed, 18 more than TDC spares has at the moment
OHV Clutch Slaves also needed
