Peter:: I was unaware of your shoulder problem and do hope that a recovery is shortly in your future. I destroyed my right shoulder on outboard motors some years ago before I was in the medicare system and also could not afford insurance. It took about 10 years but it finally came back. I really hope you get 100 percent.
If I may be so bold as to advise the Zimmaster------ if you go to that shop to meet the owner, wear a white shirt and tie, have your hands absolutely clean and park where they can not block your car in. Other wise you may not get out of there and may be turning a wrench. Best to Bakersfield

Jake: Thank you! Unfortunately, just like after market P-car parts, man-made shoulders don't have a life expectancy nearly as long as the originals! The more that they're subjected to, the higher the possibility that the joint between the Chrome Cobalt "bone," and the ABS "socket" will loosen to the point where they have to go in again and work on it. The way to extend its life? Don't open the SnapOn tool chest!

You still have the snap on box, and the history and stories it has within it. I suppose that 100 years ago, with the shorter life span, we would both be gone. You cant wrench and I cant fly anymore but we are still having fun.
Funny you should mention after market parts. We had just put in an Italian clutch cable in the SC when i read your post about using factory only. When we fixed the clutch pedel I put in the $92 real deal cable. My son was amazed at the change and I told him you said so. When I say zimmerman, now he listens, as I do. thanks Peter

Dr. Zimmerman, I didn't know you were in Bakersfield. I'd like to meet you sometime if you are ever in Fresno or if I ever make it down to Bakersfield.

I'll look forward to it! Give me a day or two heads up if you're coming down here, and I'll do the same before heading to Fresno! Happy New Year to ya'!
