So I don't need some sort of special primer for the PVC?
Good deal--I'll have to decide what color plug wires I want
to get in the future and then paint it to match . . . hmm,
blue, red or yellow?

Yeah, I thought about fabb'n some sort of bracket, but the
axle breather hose (that is what it is right?) seems to
support the front enough--I'll keep an eye on it to make
sure the assembly doesn't start sagg'n and rubb'n.

Yeah, I saw the bin for those, but they were out of them at
the time I made the hardware purchase and I was too
impatient to wait--you know how it goes.

I have a new scanner at home but I bet I could borrow the
