Yet another what is it!

What it says in the title. Found it while clearing a pile of junk from a tv cabinet before I replaced it. Clearly very well made too. Oh, and my wife had to tell me what it is!

Nice try, but it's in millimeters, not pounds feet!

Nope. Not even close! Although it does look a bit prop shaft like, what with the UJ's on the ends.

Nope.
Clue. They are used eight or more at a time...
Further clue. Anyone who knows what it is has probably done a lot of extreme sports, riding or motorcycle racing...

Bingo! It's correct name is "medium strut for Taylor spatial frame". Years ago my wife had to have her leg broken then a cage on it, which looks weird what with screws going into your leg, then you give the rack, I mean the adjusters a turn every day. There are two left over and I'm trying to figure out how I could use them in something cool!

Yep , I know exactly what it is ,,, and how sick of looking at them you get too ...

Probably, but you'd be unlucky if you needed it!
