Subject:      Hope for NLA headlight adjusters
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

Dear Volks,
On my recent travels I lost a headlight; in the process of replacing
the bulb(s) I took a fast look at the adjusters.

The major reason for the trip was to bring home the second half of my
little machine shop which I expect to start setting up immediately;
and looking at those adjusters I see no reason why I couldn't come up
with something to replace them.  I expect to be actively working on
that.  I'm sure they won't be cheap (no molded parts, probably mostly
brass), and doubtless someone with better facilities will come along
with something that costs less; but in the mean time I expect them to
be available for sale within a couple months.  I'll be talking with
at least Ken Wilford about putting them in his line.

If someone cares to lend me a set of 2.1l headlight support plates
with buckets and don't-need-to-be-working adjusters all around that
will greatly facilitate the process.

All this assumes that my understanding of my abilities isn't too
overblown. <g>  I'll keep y'all posted.

Yours,
David
