Hence my decision to allow the commercial market do as much development of subsystem as I can: differentials, suspension systems, etc. Then, I reap the benefit, and shop around for the cheapest possibility. Once I have begun fermenting an idea in my head of what I'm actually doing, I'll be in a much better position to begin making my own replacement/upgrade parts. I'm trying to combine initial over-engineering, with an evolutionary design. Don't ask me how that's supposed to work: I have no clue. But now, that's the fun then, isn't it!
