[TPR] Found the mufflers I'd been looking for

[asajay at asajay.com]

Well, one of your email addresses has been coming through on the list  
just fine (I'll have to check which one).  The other may not be  
registered so it would get rejected.

I wish I were that far ahead of the game.  Wow!  Three grand for a  
rollbar?  That's nuts!  I paid Dick Drenske about $1,500 for the  
customer four point cage (like Dennis') for my Pantera.  It's still  
not installed though.  Some of the bolt holes for the connectors are  
at the wrong angle and I can't install them once the whole thing is  
installed.  I have some welding work on it that needs done before I  
can put it in.  That, and I need to get a removable bulkhead cover  
that's compatible with the cage.

You might take some photos and email the tech inspectors ahead of time  
to ask about harness attachment.  If it's at the right angle and  
distance, you may be fine.
