Dave,

At one time I was thinking about putting kits together however since everything is readily available I just figured I'd pass the info on to others, plus a little bit of buffing with me goes a long way (see pictures of my 55 Pontiac).

Attached is a picture of my wiper set up. I did have a set up prior to this one that was somewhat better however they were hard to find in any amount of quantities. These are a little looser then I like but can be tighten up via shrink tube, etc however they do work fine. I run mine as is from the box and refills are no problem to get.

Click on my name and my email info will appear. Email me your name and address for those who need adapters. I don't have a lot of these so please don't ask if you really don't need.. I don't use Paypal.

We've decided on a date for the Austin Swim-in that incorporates the LBJ
Ranch. The dates will be April 25 - 27th. We don't have all of the
specifics yet, but the National Parks people would like us to set up our
cars for a static display on Saturday afternoon, April 26th. We talked
about a drive through the park either before or after the display (maybe
both?).



I'll have more details next month, but in the meantime if anyone has any
questions or suggestions please contact me at kodo(at)kodoskorner.com

Hi Keith, Ron Green seems to have some on hand so I will probably be getting the adapters from him. I will let you know if that falls thru. Thanks, Jack

Charles, Jack et all. I went to my supplier this morning. He does not have any in stock and it will take 3 weeks or so to get them. I would like to know how many sets to buy. I thought that I still had an extra set but I checked and I don't. My best guess on the cost would be 15 dollars for the set and what every shipping would be.**************The year's hottest artists on the red carpet at the Grammy Awards. Go to AOL Music.
