Hi Frank and Junimrox,

Yea, I know. I and thinking why not add them. Might make it to easier to make work without a super computer for the CFD.

Ford can afford the the super computer time to save the $2 per grill in cheap bearings over 300,000 cars ($600,000 saved). But can we afford the $60K program to do that analysis, when $2.00 might be cheaper for us.

I am not proposing controls. Just pivots and maybe some biasing weights.
