Thanks, Keith. Right now, I'm thinking about a glasspack that J.C. Whitney has in assorted diameters and lengths, possibly two in series along the side of the...
Thanks Thomas. I'd found the Bosal part, but thought there must be an alternative that was a bit less expensive. Your links are much appreciated. Thanks, again...
