Dan6061 Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Looks good.Could probably shave a load of weight down if you just machined it down to a 'Y' shape?or is that what you're going to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RR_Trials Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Fantastic, great idea, could make yourself some money selling the design to Monty or whoever it is that makes the ordinary splitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
