Re: Gas tank valve size
I have good luck with the dirty leg. Works well with the fine rust that washes off the top of the tank. The filter is a stand pipe that traps water and rust in the bottom of the tank that promotes...

Re: 68A seat base
I think Marco is right on the money. A front seat is very easy to burn or tear. Replacement adjustable seat from a junk yard didn't fit so just fasten it to the original base with wood screws. Seems...

Re: New cork sinks
The coating on the cork does not prevent it from absorbing liquid, it prevents it from drying out. Keeping the cork wet also prevents it from drying out. As in the past I offer the comparison to the...

Re: Joint MARC / MAFCA Clubs
I agree with Marco also. Since a major portion of the club's dues go to the magazine publication a combined club would need to eliminate one magazine or substantially increase dues. This eliminates...
