No Phil has not stopped drinking.... the Irene storm has drop rain onhis area real bad..... broke 100 yeras old record..... in fact he may nothave power yet.

Point raised by Rob C. .... most of the cab bolts are 1/4 stove bolts..... holes were at least 3/8 and some were cut oblong almost 1/2 inch long.

Bigger 5/16 and 3/8 bolts for fenders and such have corresponding larger hole to allow for alignment.........

Hanno's point is correct... if the base is crooked so will the rest.

I will need to investigate what frame straightening facilities exists in Ottawa and costs.......

For the record all 4 spring packs were disassembled, cleaned. leaves fabricated and replaced as necessary and the total spring pack re-arched..... so the two front ones were very similar in dimensions when installed.

Maybe the ground is crooked......!!!!
