Hey all y'all (Georgian plural version of "you", from when I did time in Macon)..... OK, I'm planning on disassembling my locking system again this weekend, so I'll share what I find with you. Hopefully you won't be locked in your van and will be able to read the post. tx, bmc :) "Faith will move mountains, but you'd better bring a shovel...."
