is this question a plant?

More than once I've wondered if questions here were planted by publishers . . .

In the mailbiox today is the newest MiniWorld and the feature DIY:

"Engine steady upgrade guide"

as said b4, there are a lot of different engine steadies out there. Looking at 7's page there's nearly a dozen.

Maybe if you could be a little more specific, or even have a picture, someone will recognize what's in their car.

And as I mentioned the July 11 MiniWorld has a tech article about installing a top, and lower steadies. What they did involved cutting off existing mounts, installing reinforcing backing plates and bolt in mounts . . .
