Either this is more difficult than I thought, none of you are familiar
with the natural history of Spridgets :-) or the Haynes manuals are
not as common as I supposed. A hint: all the parts are right, but no
Spridget ever left the factory this way. If you have never seen, or
can't lay hands on, this Haynes manual, send me your US Mail address
and I will send you a photocopy of the cover. phile@pwcs.stpaul.gov
or 672 Orleans Street / Saint Paul, MN 55107
