As much as I hate to I think I am just going to rebuild the JH. Still have to find a new ABA head though!

Little piece of news too, Checkers has a new home on the 15th...

Since you are getting all this OEM suspension stuff, how about a set of OEM rabbit springs to go with it! I have some if you want to roll in the nosebleed section, hehe :sly:
