Just thought of this... there's a bearing and seal shop north of Aurora that
Gary Boone and I went to while looking for a new U20 front seal... they can
cross reference just about anything there. I can't remember the name of
the place, but am looking through old receipts to see if I can find it. I
thought I might have some spare new collars, but I think we used those are
another car... so much for me having spares! :) Well, it's always better
to see other folks with that insane smile that just me! Well, good luck
again!
