Ned and List

I hate to even throw this out there but due to the lack of business 
(5 orders this month) and the exchange rate of our weak dollar to the 
British pound.  Which would mean another 30-35% rise in prices to 
even make a little profit, I can no longer keep the doors open.

I am currently out of Steering Lube and will not be restocking.  I do 
have a lot of products on the shelf.  Motor Oil both detergent and 
Non-detergent, some gear box oil 40, Hypoid 80W/90, 85W/140, assorted 
Racing 10 10ths etc.  Also gone are Transoil 250 and 140.  I do have 
Transoil 90.

If you would let me know what you might be interested in and I have 
it, I will sell at current prices.  In Sept Penrite is hiking their 
wholesale prices.  So Moss is getting $17.00 for Steering Lube while 
I sold at $10.95, some difference.  Guess I should have sold for 
more, but I was making 40-50% and didn't want to be greedy.

I will leave my web site up until I either sell out or am bought out 
by a new distributor.  There are plans for maybe an East Coast and 
West Coast distributor.  Penrite will announce any changes on their web sites.

I want to give my thanks to all who supported this experiment in 
capitalism.  Sometimes it works sometimes not.

PS: Ned please do NOT pack the steering box with grease.  Grease will 
not flow back after it is wiped off the surfaces of the worm gear, 
then soon its metal on metal.  If there is no leaking 90W will work 
as well as STP.  Just as long as it keeps the surfaces covered.  Also 
a semi-fluid grease would work.
