Dear Listers, As of today, Contributions to the Matronics List Fund Raiser are lagging behind last year at this time by roughly 17%. I have a Fund Raiser each year simply to cover my operating costs for the Lists. I *do not* accept any advertising income to support the Lists and rely solely on the Contributions of members to keep the expenses paid. I run all of my own servers and they are housed here locally, and the Internet connection is a commercial-grade, T1 connection with public address space. I also maintain a full backup system that does nightly backups of all List-related data so that in the event of a server crash or worse, all of the Lists and the many years of List archive data could be restored onto a new server in a matter of hours. All of this costs a fair amount of money, not to mention a significant amount of my personal time. I have a Fund Raiser each year to cover these costs and I ask that members that feel they receive a benefit from my investments make a modest Contribution each year to support the continued operation and upgrade of these services. If you enjoy the Lists, please make a Contribution today. I also offer some incentive gifts for larger Contribution levels. At the Contribution Web Wite, you can use a credit card, Paypal, or personal check to show your support for the continuation of these services: http://www.matronics.com/contribution Or, drop a personal check in the mail to: Matt Dralle / Matronics 581 Jeannie Way Livermore CA 94550 USA Thank you for your support!

This was in a particularly hard winter and he wanted to visit his girl friend on the other side of the valley. Of course this was in olden times when they were a separate item which could be easily unbolted from the car, not moulded into the body as they are now.

From: "Dennis Thate" I have a feeling this was built by someone who would prefer to live in south Florida if they could afford to do so.

All that's left is to radius the corners, deburr and alodine. All are .25" base, although I had to spot face the front 2 holes on the forward blocks when the angle over ran the boss, but an extra washer should keep you from having to replace bolts, same with the AN6's through them, too. Aft blocks are counterbored so their should be no problem with the bolts through them. I made sure of the 9.5" dimension by cleco'ing a pair to the engine mount of my Firestar so I could scribe a line to pick up when I drilled the forward blocks.
