Yup, it sucks. I was expecting it though. I got some pistons from eBay and the seller sent them by UPS (I really didn't want him to). I got dinged an extra $50. On a declared value of $100 US!!!

Is that a complete set or is it per wheel? I can't remember what Napa quoted me.

I was surprised to find that Partsource could get me front drums for my 62...

Looks great! I tried joining up on the old MSN site but it never did work properly for me. Anyway, I've had a '62 Merc uni since December of 2005. It's not running at the moment but it'll soon have all-new floor panels. I'm eagerly awaiting their arrival... I'll be keeping it pretty original since I...
