If it's been in a shop window, then it probably _has_ seen extreme heat. On a regular, cyclic basis. But I would expect that you would have problems with migrating lubricants before this sort of thing. Unless someone has already dealt with that... It's not your fault. Probably. 8-))) ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.ntlworld.com Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software Visit www.ntlworld.com/security for more information
