Pat, Joe ( and all other Westy manual owners):
why don't we pool our resources, and make copies of our manuals, and trade
with each other. In my humble (as compared to Joel's) data summarizing
skills I surmize the following manuals are currently owned by the following
subscribers
Pat Walsh- 78' Westy manual
Joe Clark- 68'-72' Westy Manual
Michael Heron- 1967 Westy Manual (approx. 40 pages tres detailed)
i like seeing Westy manuals from all years :):)
