Good points, wording on the the old interweb is always a crap shoot. LOL

I was excited about putting a VW product (my steering damper) on my old ford

On another note while looking over my engine compartment, I happened to notice I never finished my DIY Battery box. Brought it into my shop this morning and did a quick and dirty powder coat on it. It'll look much better now.

I also was able to make it to the local Dog n Suds. 10 miles roundtrip with the wife, she held on well. Great ride.
