Now you've got to do the research and determine who sells what, and if it's worth the extra coin for possibly the same exact part from the same exact plant (with a different label)

Some Chinese crap seems to be improving. Some doesn't. Makes for interesting times.
a lot of tool company’s are that way. They keep buying each other out.

Good news!

I got this navigator running Sunday night. I have to put the brakes together tonight after turning the rotors. That project is almost done so hopefully Clifford will come back to the front of the line.
Also put the 87' up for sale so hopefully it goes away and that$ can go to Clifford project...that's my plan anyway...

Thanks Glenn. It feels so good.

Nate, no it fit tight but we'll. Nothing crazy other than it's a LOT of stuff in there. I'm glad to hopefully make it stop tonight and possible be driving it tomorrow....

another 8-12 inches of snow coming, only took the beast out twice this winter after a good rain to wash away the road salt

maybe in a few weeks the salt will be gone and I can take out the beast again
