Tom,

The running lights are 'tear drops', as you know. There ARE places around where you can get those. I bought 20 with Aluminum bases for $64.00 in California. Granted the bases ARE pretty thin! I'll be happy to get the part nbr & post it. We can probably find them on the net.

Regarding light/tail light bases - I'll be glad to make ANY of them. Me engineer - can mak-um casting patterns for aluminum castings OR I can make them on CNC Mill out of Billet (Solid). PLUS I can anodize them any color you want-um! (If you're into that kind of thing!)

Will have all common sizes of Olympic Rivets available next week, (min. qty. 100). ALL our Olympic Rivet will have the seal, so you have no problem with leaking! Will have an Economical Rivet Shaver, for use with Olympic Rivets available in about 2 weeks. I have finished the Engineered drawings this week - now I just gotta make it!

Working extensively on our new web site - will have pics of ALL our available Hardware, plus the Tail Lights rings we make, Tail Light assemblies made from Billet Aluminum - Polished (what else!!?), Marine type Lenses, Side Markers with Reflective Tape, inter-laid for MEGA Brightness. (The pics will be of the assemblies I'm putting on our '65 Caravel.) If I see that there is a good interest in them, I can then go into production with them.

I have another idea about an, Air operated - Anti-Sway devise. That I am going to start the drawings and R & D on, that will be an innovation in the industry. Will be run off Air Cylinders. Can't say much more. Will be Patented! ;-) (HINT - It WON'T cost $2,400.00!!!)

Think that about covers it,

Jim

P.S. Oh yea, Hey Jon - how often do YOU wash your Airstream?? You didn't answer me!
