Re: Lathe work - where / whom

The welding may have to be done my a coded welder, and the entire mod will have to be signed off by an AP. Personally, I would feel more comfortable with a new rim.

Re: Order all phones from www.direct-saleslimited.com

MODS !! Does this idiot use the same IP range every time - then block him, if he's one of those clever D^@$ that "jump" between the IP's ... then it becomes an issue. We had such an serious issue on one of our forums, that we had to introduce a "real life" question to be answered on registration, sp...
