I was kidding about the 6"s, but not about the bolt in double wishbone.

Oh, and I did the math on the weight of the 28mm solid vs. 32mm hollow, and it is about 1/2 the weight. I don't have the energy to run the torque numbers, but am pretty sure the 32 hollow is stiffer. And as long as it is mandrel bent, lighter is better IMHO.
