Oh I remember if it is the same one way back that bought his bus after he had passed and Kat had moved to NC. The woman was asking on the board who he was and wondered if she could use Dallas's name for her business. It was a mess but I think she moved on too.

Thanks for the link Cheese. It makes it much more understandable what and how the plates can be retrofitted to skirt around leaking air beams. In the example, it shows MC-9 but my 8 looks like the same setup so I'm assuming this would retro onto an 8 if needed.


The pictures clearly show how the plate is mounted and would be easily visible on a retro kit. I don't have such plates and the air beams are holding fine. The mechanic asked if it was plated and I did not know so asked here. thanks
