Torque arm

Home made torque arm...
I had a couple of rose joints laying around (from some old steering dampers), so I thought about making a new torque arm, using steel thread rod, steel tube over it and a couple of nylock nuts to get the rose joints aligned in the right direction.
I always liked the look of these things; slim and clean...
