Re: New 1991 Vasserette Owner in Oregon

Welcome, Like Bill said, you're asking the right questions. I think that the flush rig you are looking for is available at Bob's Machine Shop (online). As far as the quality issues in certain years, I've heard that too. The real question is...What shape is your core in? They are all susceptible to f...
