RMIHR and Yakima racks...

[jmbrodsky@domain.elided]

Tom,

        Really 8/6 - 8/11?  That means that the NWBRU should be the following 
weekend 8/13 - 8/16?  I guess I could drive to the RMIHR, spend the day friday 
and jet out friday night, leaving the truck with someone in Denver or so.  Fly 
to NY, fly back the 12th, then drive to Wash for the show on the 14, 15th, then 
drive back to Tucson the following week, probably returning the 18th or so?  
How's this sound.  It'd be like 7500 miles in a week and a half!

        I really liked RMIHR, it's be a shame to miss it.

Willy,

        Since I rolled my truck in '95, I've been scouring Garage sales for the 
old type 1A towers for Yakima.  Now they have only these new fangled jobs, that 
don't fit any of the locks I had to buy before.  These are the ones with the 
footbal shaped knob on the front right?  If Tom passes on them is there a 
possibility I could get these from you?  I had three trays, two wheel forks, and
a basket when I rolled it, not to mention all the lights, etc.  I valued the 
entire accessory package on the top to be around $1000.  I hope you'll take 
less.

        My '76 Scout II is almost back on the road!  Woohoo!

Tom,
I have a pile of Yakima Rack pieces/parts I can root through.
I will be gone for four days so I can't tell you what I have for awhile.

The old Yakima (15 yrs ago) had a clip that would work for you. Instead
of cable it was attached (from side to side) with flat webbing.

I think this is about what it was shaped like.

Why not just pop-rivet the bugger on and be done with it? we *are*
talking a "winter only" top are we not?
