Hey Army,

Unless I am reading the table cocked-eyed, those numbers cannot be correct. For example, I know for a fact that the five speed front piece is about 18" and the 240D is about 19 1/2. I also know that the 240D piece that was cut had about 1 1/2 inches cut off which would make sense. The auto from the 300D was the smallest. Also, the 300 with the 5 speed and the 300D auto had the thinner type of tube, e.g., straight piece of tubing vs. the one shaped like a coke bottle on one end. I am thinking that the rear section is constant or the same for all flavors, so its just the front piece. When I get the entire DS back from the shop, I will take some more pictures to do a final compare and contrast and with exact mm numbers. Also, I will ask the guy what is the construction of these things. Looks like just a steel tube.
