( I think they are still available? ) --- End quote --- Yes John, still around. Bought a 5/8" about a year ago. I have about 12 of them. No soddin' 5/8" size though. How is it you seem to have every size except the one you need ... I felt sure I should have one. IIRC it was for B7G valve bases ... Dave BC |
