> He who dies with the most tools . . . ha. Yes, my plan is to be buried with them.... in my Vanagon! ;) My last attempt at O2 removal was futile. But then it was a rusty rusty affair. Image: http://tinyurl.com/n9cq9vw Lest I jinx myself before removal of final fasteners at arm to body, would like to say a big "thanks" to list for help on this (one arm is done). Given all the comments I've read online re: rusted fasteners and what not, would never have tackled this job w/o some help and encouragement. I'll post tips and things I learned on my picasaweb album. From the POV of a pseudo advanced shade tree, this job is certainly doable. i.e. arm thickness is quite forgiving for MIG, a propane torch sufficed to heat up old bushings for removal. And thank goodness for guys like Loogy (Chris) at T3 and the GoWesty perch. Neil.
