    How strong are they?

    Jag IRS Been out in the salt mines wrapping up a job. My brother and I rolled the center section around trying to find the gear ratio and didn't see it. Not sure where it is located. As I remember it came out of an 1985 sedan with a 6 banger. I will get it up on a bench where I can get at it.

They thought they were safe because it had been towed to the site, had been there a few years, and thought that...
