YS question for the list

[John Ferrell]

I was under the impression that the heads were only available as an assembly
for about $135.

Clarence Lee (writes for RCM) has a bushing that he installs for a fee in
his machine shop. Bill Glaze has one and the only downside is that it spaces
the header out a little and may require more work to make your existing
header work.

Mr. Lee has an ad in the classifieds of each RCM.
