I found a few of those at Midas.... I think somewhere they give that
ASE patch away in brekfast cerial boxes. :/ Those were the folks that
tried to weld tabs to make brakes fit my ZJ that wern't for my ZJ rather
than check the part number.
Oddly enough that shop is still closed (has been for the past five years).
They probably killed somebody. :(

Still not needed, Doug. COS hasn't seen more than 2 days below zero
in a long time and AIR the coldest we saw this last winter was like
-5. This global warming thing is questionable in it's extreme
application, but we haven't had much winter for a good 8-10 years. Of
course, the decade following the last string like that made brass
monkies an endangered species <g>.
