    i've been using the rubber "foot" like you'd find on crutches for a looong time. sounds similar the post above ^^^ i found them at www.mcmaster.com for pretty darn cheap (<$1 a piece)

    Takin' orders - OBA brackets (fits HO) and swaybar extension brackets

    put me down for a set of swaybar extensions and possibly an odyssey PC1200MJT (depending on price). i might even be able to pick up in person, unless shipping is cheaper than gas ;)

    New timing chain set, but rotor won't turn when crank does.

    since you removed & replaced the distributor, are you sure that you indexed it correctly when reinstalling it? if it's far enough off, the engine will crank all day but not run.

    Name brand Hi-Lift vs. cheap knockoff

    as above- go local (4wheelparts should have hi-lifts if a smaller private shop doesn't) or summitracing.com charges $9 flat rate for shipping.

    Has anyone had to rebuild a 242??

    i had the chain start slipping in my 242- i replaced that, and while it was out i replaced the input bearing/seal and front & rear output bearings/seals. cleaned it up, reassembled, reinstalled and have been running it for 2 years without any problems.

    MasterCraft Seat Mounts

    i ordered the mastercraft mounting bracket kit for my '87 as well... good news is you retain all of the adjustability (front-to-back, and the rocker). bad news is, i had to cut apart & reweld the bracket and drill my own holes. would have been cheaper to buy some angle iron and make them from...
