we can save @scrapdaddy a trip into town.

Gives me a chance to catch up on town gossip. I've got the springs sitting here might as well ship them.

Do you still need a spring?

Still needing a spring ; tried the springbars off an A.R. BUT could not get the curves "tight enough" even with a special dental wire bender i got

N2666s,

Have you been using the metal ones and if so, how are they holding up, working, etc.

Also, exactly how do you pronounce your MUD name? For short can we just N2 or ?

RE: using the HP Nylon nylon ones and are awesome finding substitutes for the rusted door latch springs though has been the bitch
MUD name november triple six sierra call sign aircraft I used to fly ✈civilian 337 military O2 " Oscar Deuce ", call sign sometimes shortened to triple six sierra

Send me a PM with your address and I'll get it in the mail.
Please post some pictures of your 55 when you get a chance, we love pictures.

@scrapdaddy , I appreciate you mailing them. If it's truly a bother to make it into town just let me know and we'll take Jim up on his offer.

I'm thinking I'll make a new thread on here to better track the door handle spring and tailgate spring work. Springs are an easy thing to re-create, even if you have to get them made from a legitimate vendor there's little to no setup fee (i.e. no special tooling required like, say, injection molded parts). I'm still thinking the tailgate springs are easy and I can hand fabricate.

 

[scrapdaddy]

Not a big deal at all. I now have a package waiting for me there anyhow.

 

[scrapdaddy]

The springs are on the way, should be there Friday 24th.

Received this weekend. Stay tuned! Thank you Ron.
