Subject:Odometer fix worked...and Karen's curtains.

Sometimes I amaze myself, especially since other
projects attempted recently have not gone as well.

I have previously described the little bracket I made
to hold the drive gear in place, and it appeared that
everything was as it should be, with nothing turning
when it should not (or not, when it should) so I
reinstalled the instrument cluster and finally took a
test drive today; 9 miles and counting.  The reset
works too, and I promise I will NEVER touch it unless
at a complete stop.

Karen has completed her project of lining the Westy
curtains with silvery metallic ironing board cover
fabric, and adding more snaps for more complete
closure.  This mod darkens the interior considerably
with only a few light leaks around the edges, and we
hope the lining (silver facing outside) helps keep the
interior cooler as well, although no true insulating
layer was used.

Stephen
