Well, done Dave,
    I have never seen a vendor recognize things like this. I'm sure after
admitting to this, I will still order parts from you.  BTW
    My engine adapter was delievered yesterday. Everything looks good.
 Thanks for the discount. I have to try it on for size, etc. but
so far it looks like a work of some real engineering.
