Re: Lady legs basis for approval?
FWIW, using the uncomplicated method I installed them in my '48 and would never change back.

Re: Hartiwg (Monarch) Fuel Caps on a Ragwing

Re: Hartiwg (Monarch) Fuel Caps on a Ragwing
Hartwig/Monarch premium fuel caps are still in production. Does anyone know a DER who operates in the Pacific NW?

Re: WD-40
I used WD40 at Johnson Creek last summer to free up a stuck exhaust valve while performing a partial rope trick. Don't leave home without it!
