@Sean - you are welcome to come around and have a look at the pulley I mentioned. 100% made in USA. I have 2 or 3 on the shelf for projects which I am happy to part with.

This morning on KFM a lady wished her father, a Tom Bishop, goodluck with the Put Foot Rally.
They also mentioned the cool looking car he was using to do this rally. Wonder if its the same Tom Bishop ?

You need to be patient with the old fart.

I prefer riding my cars than writing about them. And....Im also a bit lazy.
