Subject:      Syncro Spring Reminder: Homework
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Just a reminder to those on the list purchase for
syncro springs to measure your vehicle height from
lower lip of wheel well/fender to center of the dust
cap/axle both unloaded and loaded (what you normally
carry on a trip or during normal use, weight wise). If
we want the best possible outcome, we have to spend a
little time gathering this data.

It may be relatively easy to get springs  for 2wd
vanagons, too, as several have expressed interest.  one
listee has a set of springs he is willing to send to
Betts Spring for testing.  I will find out from the guy
handling the syncro springs whether one joint 2wd and
syncro oirder would reduce costs, or whether we should
do two seperate orders.

I jsut got back from a hearing in court...and since
it's friday i'll expound.  I took my little boy and
girl (both 5) with me as i like them to see what daddy
does.  Just as our case was called, and i was headed up
to the podium, my little boy blurted out...daddy...i
have to go poo poo...so that all the attorneys there
for hearings and the judge and all heard...funny as can
be....caused an uproar of laughter.  The kids came
right up o the podium with me and watched quietly..and
at the end my little boy asked the judge if he could
see his hammer, and why didn't he bang it and say
Order.  You had to be there, I guess.  It's amazing the
affect a five year old can have on a bunch of stuffy
lawyers and judge...all of that pomp and posturing
suddenly becomes meaningless.
