hi don,
 i just had to get a new file for that actually. My local NAPA store was able to order it, and a larger one might keep it in stock. The file has four sides, each side has ridges for "chasing" a different thread count (1, 1.5, 2 ect). you could see if they have one that will match your threads. -pd

 

Are they striping out when you tighten them down or when you are trying to get the cap started? I had experienced the same problem when trying to start the end cap. I dressed the damaged threads on the endcap with a small triangular file. To keep it straight when screwing it into the tube, I grabbed the tube with my left hand and used my thumb to push down on the cap. That gave me enough control to get five or six turns on it before i relived the pressure on the cap. Hope that makes enough sense to be of help
-->pd

if you have a fresh roll of film, almost any place that does kodak developing can make a photo cd. that would give you a picture in  a format that you could attach to email. and it's usesually cheaper than a set of prints.

 

i just installed a new reproduction seat foam.  it's made of a grey-colored high-density foam. its nice that i can no longer feel the fiberglass pan impact my tailbone on every bump, but this stuff is as hard as a rock! does anyone have an idea on how to soften it up?
