Thanks Bob,
But that would be too easy and would violate the precepts of the "WeTight"
club. I know there is a gorgeous aluminum one available for spridgets for
about $500, but I 'm more the Pick'nPull $75 or less kind of guy. A
reasonable fit and the difference being made up in cheap sheet metal
shrouding I can do myself is what I have in mind. This has become a bit
more of a problem with the entire week forcast to be over 100. Yesterday
was 104 degrees!
If my wife leaves me and my kids get scholarships, I'll put in a custom
aluminum one with gold plating and an electric cooled pony harness
(obligatory Zappa reference).
Again, thanks for the thought. I sure wish I had a racer's budget, or are
the racers just better at explaining expenses to the wife?
Regards,
Glen Byrns
