I can just see Tate on some Sat. afternoon leaning under the hood, thinking to
himself "Why is that reservoir there? Hmmmm, that damn gun mount just isn't
accessable. Maybe I'll move it."

Just to save e-mail space: Possible comeback: I can just see Robert leaning
under the hood thinking "Where did that dent come from? Hmmmmm, that carriage
bolt looks a bit long, maybe I'll smash it down with my hood."

Later,
Robert (brain fried by too much year-end work)

lightly off center to the passenger side. I think about that type

all the time. I never have been able to get an answer on how
high a
priority the position of components for weight distribution is with
manufacturers - just curious. Enough of my rambling.
