Bent,
     Simple,  for $100.00 Dollars.  Am I missing something here?  I can
dismantle
sand blast, tape and paint in 10 minutes.  Now if I did this for a
living, I guess the
problem would be waiting a day for the paint to dry. Oh, I give them 2
coats...
So I have to wait a day in between coats, so there is another day. 5
minutes to
install the 2 rubber pieces, I'm done.  Wait ... there is a trick to
putting them
back together.....learning the secret.......priceless
                           I can rebuild these all day at $25 each and
make money!!

                                                                    Eric
