Default Gauging interest in damper install tools...`

I got tired of looking for LSx damper install tools only to either not be happy with the quality or the price. Trying to gauge if there would be any interest in an install tool consisting of a 9" Grade 8.8 threaded rod, thrust bearing, 2 washers, and a nut- for about $35?

There was a guy on here that was making those and selling them. Not sure if he's around anymore or making them. Same setup you're taking about and I think around the same price. From what I remember he sold quite a bit of them.

I use a propane soldering torch. Warm the end of the balancer up until you can barely touch it and it will slide all the way on.

A user named Hawk was making them on here. There now sold by a few of our sponsors. I believe he only sales through the sponsors now.
