RUFF i am sure my other LONG is not far from the grave yard!!
So when that explodes you can test the hardness then!
Who you have looking into it should be able to test the hardness of the outer bell by using an assembled one! The inner cage should be easy enough too! So all you should need is a BALL and BJ has taken care of that!!
I think the reason BOBBY had the whole market to himself is he was the only person to get the PROCESS right!
Its not hard to test the hardness and heat treat a CV to get it the same hardness as LONGS but, the biggest trick is finding the correct PROCESS!!
There are so many different ways of treating steel!
Greg works a lot with that sort of stuff and i use to spend a little time doing it aswell, Greg basically worked out what would, in theory WORK, but getting it spot on will take a lot of trail and error!!!
You can NORMALIZE it, weld it ,then normalize again then heat treat it, then kyrotemp it and the process could go on and on!
It will be great if someone here in OZ can do it!!
I still wonder though if BOBBY isn't worried about making them and selling them then someone should approach him for the PROCESS!!!!
P.S For those guys that are looking at C.O.R.E Cv's, there were about $550.00 to $600.00 when Greg looked at getting some (about 4 months ago) he also offered a 3 month warranty. (not great but better than what BOBBY'S offering ATM :( )

"here is the latest and greatest.
bobby will no longer be selling his products directly to the consumer. he will continue to make them and sell through a few select distributers. at this time he is going to sell through rockbuggy supply, camoware and marlin. he may choose another one but i don't know yet and when i do it will be announced here on PBB. he has not told me what he is going to do yet with the warrentys on all of the product out there currently but he is trying to figure it out as we speak. i will make an announcment as soon as i know. all product sold through distributers will not have any warrenty. only new aftermarket birfs will be available so no core charge will be in effect. the suggested retail price is $215 each.
i will continue to report things as bobby lets me know his status."

Longfield Dealers
Well we finally hammered out a deal. From now on you guys will only be able to purchase the Longfield Birfields from the following companies; Alan at Rock Buggy Supply, Marlin Crawler and of course Lisa at Camoware. Contact these folks if you have any questions. This setup will work much better for everbody. It takes a huge load off our back and for you guys all three companies listed take you credit cards. Thanks to everybody for all the support all of you have given us with this product. We firmly believe this arrangement will work for the best.
However, we still do beadlock kits and inner axles for Toyota pick-ups. We still only exchange inner axles, no buying outright.
Thanks once again BOBBY
