ROTTEN LUCK!

Ok, so I found a gentleman, and fellow Jag nut, in California who agreed to make me a stop-pin that I need for my EType Booster Servo cylinder. He has the machine tools to do the job, and even has the correct dimensions for the job! So today, I was all excited as I checked the mail and saw the envelope from him! My excitement quickly turned to disappointment when I saw a 1/4 inch hole in the envelope and no pin in sight! It must have burst through the envelop in the mail sorting machine or something! Waaaaaaa!!!

Luckily, the gentleman is going to make me another, but this time I'm sending him a pre-paid Fed-Ex container!

Just Rats!

I just sent Tinkerman a ground post screw for his TR3 in the mail last week. Same thing happened to the grd screw. He sent me a picture of the envelope, small hole punched in the envelope where I had the screw taped down. USPS must run it through some type of equipment to make it pop out. No wonder USPS is about to go down.

Basil, ask him to tape the pin to a piece of cardboard or sandwich it between two squares cut from a box. Won't lose the pin that way! :smile:
