I can wish you good luck? We have one here but it's the one we use to collect donations.

Do you know anyone in the artillery? I will ask around and see what I can do...highly unlikely though...apparently brass is still worth a few bucks.

Have you checked down at Crown Surplus... sometimes they get their hands on them for a decent price...

I have a few arty contacts still in Petawawa... could send out a thread... worst they can do is tell me no...

ill go too crown sunday and see.
Thank you for any help.

No prob... i think it's a fantastic idea!!! Even when i was in they were hard to get ahold of... we would usually end up finding them digging foxholes during field training...then our warrant officers would "requisition" them for themselves...

at this point i am quite fascinated by just watching the threads... i know a bit about engines, am learning the parts and i am just watching all the mods you guys have planned for the winter... i can only learn so much from books, you know if there are any teachers outside of the technical schools here?

I am still trying to find my perfect fit... i am in love with the old softails, and they need alot of love that I have to learn how to give... my old man is teaching me the finer points now of leather tooling and i am learning the branding by trial and error... really want to bring out the natural beauty of the beauty who finally chooses me... everything from seat to bags to every shiny polished bit...

best teacher is just doin it for yourself......

Does this mean i now know someone who can cover my seat with real leather?

lol... only if your willing to let my dad take apart the old cover for a pattern... he has been doing custom work for about 30 years... all as a hobby, but he has passed it on now... and my mother has the sewing machine for it...so yes!
