The ARP rod bolt deal "happened" a couple of weeks ago, and I have sent the
following ad to the newsletter editors of the Sunbeam Owners Group of San
Diego, Tigers East/Alpines East, and C.A.T. If any of you are newsletter
editors for other clubs, and want to publish this ad as a service to your
members, please help yourself.
In closing, I'd especially like to thank those of you who said you'd buy a
set. Without your help, these would have been some very expensive bolts for
two or three of us.

P.S. My set went to the machine shop after work Friday afternoon, along
with the rods, crank, and block--time to start blending in that most
important ingredient: money!
