John,

I have seen several questions inquiring on the specifications of
Ron's replacement pipe offering, and have never actually seen a reply.

I often wonder what they are made from, how heavy the pipe is, and if they
have the correct factory ends on them.

The price seems right, but if they are of the wrong specifications, the good
price surely won't make any diference.

I just read a post a week or so ago that a list member had to use two maple
tree's to get the pipes to fit right.
I wonder what this was all about.

I would like to hear what the Bus Depots pipes are made from, and what the
dimentional figures are prior to buying a set from them.

Have a Nice  4th.

Ron
