Thanks Carl for the link. I bought one, and thanks Miss V for making them, I need one and have been looking for them.
That said, I dont like pay pal for a variety of reasons, one of which is why do you get $10 off if you dont pay now and pay full price if you do. I dont mind someone making an honest buck, but my guess is that pay pal is using card/credit info for something I dont want them to use if for, and are making more than the kickback they give. Call me a cynic. So I paid the full price and hope Miss V gets it, less whatever the commission is so long as its reasonable.
Look forward to getting the piece. But another Pay Pal complaint I have is that I cannot print out a receipt in case I do not get it. They promised to email a receipt, but I have yet to get it. Usually you get one in a few minutes from other businesses. They got the money, I am waiting for the item, with no proof of purchase.
So that's my rant.

There are a lot of things I don't particularily like about PayPal in general. That being said, I actually got my receipt from PayPal a minute before I got the order confirmation from eBay.

I never thought about about sending a receipt, always figured an ebay tracking number was all needed. as a seller ebay and pay pal are costly but i feel safe both for the seller and buyer.

I use to see these made out of brass. Are these units aluminum?

When Dave started making these we reviewed them in the Model A Times. They are a quality piece. We have one on most of the cars and I just ordered another one for the roadster pickup that was at SEMA. Being in stainless makes them easy to see and avoids any corrosion.

While I have not put this on a B this is speculation. The piece mounts using bolts holding the timing cover and since they are in the same spot A to B that part will work. Of course the B timing pin is in a different position but shouldn't effect it. You will have to put a mark on the crank pulley, indicating Top Dead Center. This you do on the A as well. I would say it should work, but like I said I haven't done it on a B but really like having an accurate way to adjust the timing, using a timing light.
