I get on a creeper and go from nose to tail with a flash light on a regular basis.

John is absolutely correct. It's very important to stay on top of these cars, especially when you run them at the limit like I do. 6000 miles and over 20 races. I'm not surprised but glad I found it before my trip to CA next month.

Thanks for the advice guys. Maybe I'll swing by Ironworks on the way to the event. I wanted to drive the car, but I may end up just trailering to Ironworks and having them fix me up and on my way. If I can't find someone local I trust, which is not likely at this point. Greg, I was thinking the same thing. Tie it into the cradle.
That sounds like the best way to handle it Todd.the crew at ironwork's can fix correctly.
