Will check this evening--picking it up after some winterizing done:  
the usual, plus my new ace mechanic found a wiper motor.
Will send on data to those interested.

He also says he found the source of my oil leak.  Hah!  We'll just 
see about that.

Hey Guyz,

Long sad story: Couple years ago I did some severe damage
to my '72 Midget's undercarriage and had to install some
"used" parts -- rear end, leaf springs, like that. So, in
my own obsessive-compulsive way, I have been worrying about
the rear end looking too high. So I broadcast an appeal to see
what other '72s ride at. Got one response. Fred sez his rides
at about 11 1/5 at the bottom of the overrider. Mine rides at
close to 16" at the bottom of the overrider, 18" to the center
of the rear bumper. Whoa! Wonder what I installed for springs?
Sure doesn't look THAT MUCH too high.

So here goes again: For chrome-bumper folks, how high is
the center of your back bumber?

thanks,

chuck
