Great Pete! Yea, this group is not only very informative, but entertaining as well. I spend much less time watching crap on TV now that I found this site. Enjoy visiting and learn something new every time I visit.

You are welcome. I need one too when I get some time. If I buy one now I will lose it before I use it! I have parts everywhere now that need to be installed before I worry about the seat stencil! Let me know what he says if you do contact him.
