Conley: The package of springs, guide rod, etc. arrived in good shape a few days ago, for which I thank you. Although I haven't yet made the time to remove the factory original parts and test yours, the workmanship looks "first rate." More, Conley, many thanks for the great photo of the family and the big diesel-engined pickup. Glad the kids had a good time at DQ. I'm on Jo's computer and don't have your address handy, so will use this for time being. The Detonics fan who gave you a good name as a totally reliable and trustworthy man doesn't seem to have missed the mark. Thanks again for your good work in producing and sending the parts I asked for. Kindest personal regards. dbc
