Side note: David Nock once showed me an 'original' 100M CAB. It was 
fab'd--not particularly well--out of sheetmetal and fastened with 
rivets. Anyone know when the fancy, cast(?) aluminum ones were added?

We have an aftermarket one, and I don't remember any issue finding bolts 
to fit. I'll look today to see if I can figure out what we used.
