Great profession. She come out into a great occupation, helping people and well compensated these days!

I did not mean to hijack this thread but it has important details on steering connection for me. I am making slow progress and have found a way to pin the universals with a threaded hole, castle nut, cotter pin and loctight. I tried to drill my own cotter pin holes in bolts without seccess but found 5/16" bolts of the correct thread WITH cotter pin holes in the Bratton Auto Parts Model A restorers catalog! It seems the bolts are the ones meant to bolt the Model A transmission to the A block and as with many parts for the A they have cotter pin holes. I am not quite finished but I am slowly making progress to do this "right". After several mistakes and ruined parts I got help from a machinest named Spike Allen at nearby DanKel Engineering at (where else?) the Hanover Air Park and I will get a photo soon. As far as the Forum goes, it is worth waiting for and there is a wealth of technical information here by looking thorugh old threads and so if the site is down for a while it is worth waiting for when it comes up again.

Thanks Steve. She's got about 2 years to go for her RN and 3 for the BSN. She needs to do really well, because at my age she could end up being my primary care giver. With that said, Doomed is the word that comes to mind when thinking about my future.
