[DeTomaso] Two things: Rotary compressor mount, and 5/8" hose filter?

[cengles at cox.net]

Dear Forest,


           Regarding the allegations of failed plastic coolant system 
filter housings, do you know if they relate to the Tefba filters?   I 
have them in both Panteras for about fifteen years without problems.
