Heh, the issue is usually that the weight starts to rattle.

Glad you are enjoying it. I think it really helps the look of the backend.

Yea. Just need to clamp down the sides eventually to make the tape adhere better. And I am sure over time it'll settle some more. It's almost flawless. Just need to buy rear spats, blades, and diffuser to finish my style for the car.

I want to get a car cover but mine is a mix of so many 370's I don't think I'd find one that'd fit well

You seem to have some issues when it comes to maintenance.

Someone remind me to email fly1 tomorrow for pricing on blades. Need to know if a quantity of 1 is a pair or a single blade.

Reps out in 5

Hope all had a good day today. I tried buying a foam cannon today and found out Stihl pressure washer one is a hard one to get. Their O-Ring part is larger than most and the "Universal" ones are not too universal... I talked to a Stihl dealer with no help and a guy in Home Hardware (who sold me the pressure washer) can see the part but doesn't think he can order it...
I know not needed but I would like one

heh, I just ordered a couple of 3/8 and 1/4 fittings trying to get the right size for the MTM foam cannon to fit my homelite pressure washer.

The part I need is the "T" part and then to rig it to the foamer.

I am sure I can do it but it is not just a simple buy one and go. Caused me to drive to 5 different stores in 3 towns to find out this...

Probably yes. The part that I am having problems getting is the part that attaches the cannon to my Stihl pressure washer. It needs that exact diameter end and O-Ring for any addon on the pressure washer. If I had one I could make something work but THAT is the part I cannot find.

I understand now. Hmmm, bugger. Own a lathe?
