I noticed the lug on the Cheviot (this one: http://25.media.tumblr.com/122d0d1e21f583da20777428d264d501/tumblr_myubi5Hecp1qe3ngpo6_400.jpg) is the same as one that was mentioned in a blug awhile back; as I was awaiting my Bombadil at the time and knew they had a new lug coming for it, when I saw that lug in the blug, I'd asked about it, if it was going to be on the diaga-Bomba... Grant said nope, that the Bomba had a LOT more clearance needed, and that lug wouldn't do for it, that he might eventually design a new lug for it, but that if the angles didn't come out just right, that such could end up being an expensive problem; that's why they were passed through Mark Nobilette's for adding on the curvastays on the Bombadils... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
