Re: Vendors
I want to buy from a company that refuses to sell something of bad quality. I use Bratton’s because I have noticed items that they don’t offer. I appreciate that.

Re: Do you use Mounted Dripping Oil Catch Pans?
I haven’t seen the one you are talking about. I will look it up to see how they compare. Apparently they weren’t available when Mike Kemp made the one that I have. I’ve owned it for a few years.

Re: Synthetic oil
Thanks Ernie, I'm running Mobile One 10 30 as well. I have been concerned that I should have purchased 10 40 for here in Indiana.

Rubber body mounting blocks
I own a 1930 roadster and it tends to sound junky when hitting bumps. Would it make sense for a company such as Float-A-Motor to make rubber body mounting blocks to quiet this type of Model A down? ...
