[Fot] Steel Connecting Rods for a TR6

[Larry Young]

A while back, I attended a talk by the owner of Skat.  He said for their 
cranks and rods they did all of their machine work in the US, but their 
raw forgings were done offshore.  He made the statement that their 
forgings were not done in the US, because there were no longer any 
companies that could do them. That seems hard to believe. -Larry
