I asked this one before but didnt get any answersyet. After I made my rudder bar out of steel rube, Inoticed that It said to use chrome molley tube. doesanybody know the reason for that? If it is because ofthe wear factor from your feet. could I just use sometype of high wear sleeve. or is it a weight orstrength issue.________________________________________________________________________________
