Re: [Amc-list] Flash-O-Matic leaking at front

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

If anyone does know/find a good source for parts for the iron Warners I'd like to get the info too.
I'm in no hurry, so I haven't researched that area yet. I will need to do one for my convertible at some point.

Physical Therapist says to give the light exercises another week, then we will try and see what I can and can't safely do.
