Gavin,

What are you exactly after? Basic material specification i.e. Steel, rubber, or more specific specs?

I may or may not be able to assist depending on what you require.

hi gavin s
The best advise i can give you is to speek to Toyota Northern and ask for there technical department. I can only guess that you are after the type of steel used. Then speek to a metal expert to explain what these mean. I have used Hull University in the past when having new mast sections made and they have been most helpfull.

Fact of the week
The word "robotics" was coined by Russian-born American science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov who first used the word in 1942 in his short story 'Runabout'. He characterised robots as helpful servants and as "a better, cleaner race."
