>>>He'll need the special $75 socket in order to take your stuff apart, one 
of which I happen to own.   It will be nice for me to be able to help out 
Chris for a change; I've lost track of all the ways he's helped me out with 
specialized machine work etc. over the years.

Just this week I had a pair of ball joints up there, which he machined in 
order to allow a caster increase, and to allow the fitment of a camber lock 
kit to Lori Albino's '71 Pantera (the '71 cars had different front A-arms, 
and used no alignment shims; as a result it's impossible to install the camber 
lock kit without first modifying the ball joints).   He chucked them in his 
mill, knocked .100" off each end, and away I went.

Damn useful guy to have around, that Chris, and I'm fortunate to be able to 
count on him for stuff like this.
