Re: Spin on Adapters (and a question)

     My apologies about the misspelling of the word "adapter."
     
     Do you know of the filters I am asking about?
     
     Thanks

Well, John, perhaps that's the way it's spelled in GB, or perhaps that's 
the way it reads in the catalog, but in American parlance, it's 
"adapter." After two degrees in English, and almost ten years writing 
automotive parts and maintenance manuals, I should know. <smile> In 
American automotive, anything which changes function, i.e., adapts, is 
an adapter. However, compressors aren't compressers, but still 
compressors. <g>
     
Cheers.
