Re: 0.812 King Pin reamer
To all who've asked, the machine shop removed too much metal from the Upper bushings. Not sure how that happened. Also, Bratton's does not carry them (at the moment.) Apparently Snyder's has them (at...

Re: License Plate Letters
All, if you want the plates to look good there is no way around hand lettering. That being said, masking them off is probably the best bet if you don't want to hand letter. Just take your time and...
