I just looked at your diagrams on my phone. (S3 stock rooted Kitkat ROM with the Samsung Touchwiz skin)

The markups (both red strikeouts and blue links) appear, and the links function.
-If slow to open on this fossil of a phone-
But some of that may be due to poor 4G signal.

I just looked on my iphone4 (no idea what version of OS, I think 7-something) with Safari... the spreadsheet opens, I see lots of empty, blue triangles... and some N number I clicked on, it prompted me and so I had it open in a new window - it was about a bolt, even had a picture.

The IB Auto Group thing wouldn't even view the threads - neither this one nor WHYDTYTT - parse error.

Personally, I think anybody who tries to do this kind of research using a device ~the size of a playing card is just asking for frustration; there are better tools for such a job....

Jim - Noted. Thanks.

BTFG - Ditto.

Chris - I'm starting to think the revision of the OS has a lot to do with it as I've seen quite a few issues reported on out of date operating systems. Am going to upgrade this iPad tonight and see. But, please check the level of what you test. And, thanks.

Gary, the ones on both of our family's trucks are like the top picture.

David - That pretty much clinches it. A 1981, Rusty, and several later trucks, like your two and Bill's, use the pan-head screws. I'd say the drawing is wrong, and will so note.

Thanks, all. But, please continue to look at the trucks and if you find one that uses the other screws please let me know.

Break Through!!!

Guys - I believe I've had a breakthrough, and I'd really appreciate it if you would check it out. But first, some background: In spite of the hosting company's warning that they don't recommend doing this, I put each PDF image, with the links included, on a page on my web site. And, it worked! You don't have to download a file, which is obviously off-putting to many. In addition, it seems to work in a browser on my mobile devices.

So, where do you need to go to test it? There are two versions, and I'd really like input on both. However, a couple of suggestions on how to navigate. In the lower right corner you'll see an icon with the page number, and on a real computer you can put in the # you want and hit enter. Then there are zoom in/out icons. Last, a full screen/partial screen icon - and in full screen you don't have the menu with which to go to other pages on my web site, so toggle back to navigate.
Again, PLEASE test it and give me your feedback.

Thanks! I like it as well. No old files floating around. Whatever I put out there is what everyone sees. Nothing to download that could be infected. And so on.

Now, for us technical types, the vendor (Weebly) said:
You can also add a PDF, Word file, or other document directly to a page using our Embedded Document element (which is provided by a company called Scribd). We do not recommend the use of this element; linking to the documents as described in the guide above is a much better way to provide access to them.
So, I didn't even think I should try. But today I spent quite a bit of time at Barnes & Noble. Initially I was trying to find books on how to manage PDF's, but they didn't have any and couldn't find them in their system. So, I perused a bunch of books on web design - and things got complicated quickly.

Given that, I decided to at least try embedding a PDF file - and it worked!

I didn't know that big chain booksellers like Barnes & Noble or Borders still exist.
The ones around here have become markets like Trader Joe's or Citarella.
I will comfirm that the new pages work on both my Android devices.

Gary, works great on my iPad 4, IOS 9.1 all the little blue boxes come right up to the appropriate fastener. I just don't see a way to reply on it. I am using IB's app for IOS. I am signing in on the iPad and will post from it if it ever finishes.
