Been following the thread. Don't like problems, but when there is a find or solution, it's worth the time to read. Good for you!

Exactly, so many times people come here, ask a question, guys take time to provide a possible solution, and you never see anything of them again after the OP. Happens on most forums. Not a big deal, but is annoying.

Yeah, like that young gal (Texas I think) that was trying to resurrect her Dad’s FLH. Long involved thread of her trying to disassemble it and she just disappeared. Sailed off the edge of the earth.
