(NC = National course, NF = National Fine) for bolts, screw your assortment into the nuts on the plate until full or you're out of ones to clean and blast away, ditto on the other side, just thread the various nuts onto the bolt threads sticking up from the plate and Ta-Da clean stuff. with out having to blast fingers or toes. The plates heavy enough to stay in place as you work on your fasteners. -- Paul Holmgren Mine: 2 57 300-C's in Indy Hers: 05 PT GT R/T HO Stage 1 Hoosier Corps L#6 ------------------------------------ To send a message to this group, send an email to: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to: Chrysler300-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For list server instructions, go to http://www.chrysler300club.com/yahoolist/inst.htm For archives go to http://www.forwardlook.net/300-archive/Yahoo!
