Around hear they will not let you in thair yards and if you dont have a year and make they dont seam to want to work with you. a-- h--- i need a two piece shaft about 72 " long total moving the midle brace is not a big problem for me.i have thought about a one piece but i like the look of the two piece shaft. please help if you can thanks steve
