That's a shame they're abandoning the making of some parts and those
reasons you gave are thin but all too common excuses. This is where a
strong owner's organization could have made itself worthwhile. I guess
it's still not too late for someone to take the reins and do something for the
increasing owner population. Maybe the LSA thing will get Univair back
into the business of where we need them to be.
Point I'm trying to make is that there should be alternatives to patching
with JB Weld and such and they should be available to everyone. We're
pretty lucky to have folks like JW Jr. doing tanks over, and we know the
majority will be needing attention at some time. Would be nice to have a
parts source so John isn't overwhelmed. Especially when I send him
mine!

And if they would make some, you would pay twice as much for one of them than it would cost to have all tanks redone by John Wright.Hartmut
