first I find it hard to believe the welds themselves are that much raised/rough to cause cavitation in a liquid at say 35? knots. Second, the vapor pressure mentioned above in reference to cavitation, is counteracted and somewhat negated by the significant underwater pressure, depending on the depth of the sub. Now if we are talking welds on the props themselves, which have a much faster velocity in the water, that is another matter. What little knowledge I have on the matter, I suspect exterior hull welds would be ground more for fatigue in resisting repeated dive cycles, and improved coating ability with a smooth surface in regards to corrosion, algae build up, etc. Regardless, we are just chatting here, and to make sure I get everyone's attention, "Not for Nothing"

So to tie everything together...The cavitation the XV parts will make when being thrown in the river will be greater due to the sloppy craftsmanship and welds....  Sorry could'nt resist, carry on..
 
Very funny
On a serious note
Thanks for the heads up on the crap xv is offering. I really wanted one of those k frames but not now
I hope you can come to a amicable solution.

I'm really surprised no one from XV has chimed in yet..... Doesn't GMachineDartGT work there?

I've got one thing to say.....RMS AlterKtion!
Bills stuff is top notch and fit in my 70 GTX like a glove, no grinding or fitting, just bolt it on. Bill was on the spot with answers to my questions when I called him.
I have purchased several items from XV as well and while the parts I got from them (Frame stiffening kit and an EFI set up fuel tank) was good, the service really did suck. Order was not complete and I had to send several e-mails to get results...over several months!

I, too, was waiting for Peter to respond.

I ordered their lower E-Body rad support tube kit & it took like 3 months to get it. At least it fit properly. But it was a no brainer.
