Hi Chuck, thanks for the offer. I already have some forthcoming from another parts bin! I'll keep your and other folks advice in mind for my next Riv order. I try to save up until I can get it to $150 and get the free ship! Wish their minimum was $75, I'd probably order a lot more often! THANKS, David
