Yes... I'm good at typos... seem to spend much of my time going over my messages to correct them, but always seem to miss some.

Aren't there scrapyards which will pick bodies up for free there? Oh well... I should try pricing them up new here, but a PS rack was over $1500US new!

Er... yes, tierods.

I was under the impression that PS vans had shorter pitman arms, hence needed longer tierods.

I guess so. Wish my Bentley's was here... it's with the van 200km away... -- Andrew Grebneff Dunedin New Zealand Fossil preparator <andrew.grebneff@stonebow.otago.ac.nz> Seashell, Macintosh, VW/Toyota van nut
