[AJD] Light mounting on 39 hand start B

[Dean VP]

Chris:

Now you have me really confused. The article very clearly delineates what it
takes to make a Slant Dash B out of a Hand Start 39 or 40 B. Or at least I
thought it did.  There are no other alternatives offered by JD to add lights
and/or Starting to a hand start 39 or 40 B. 

The 39 B I parted out had pressed steel wheel centers and they appear to be
in really good shape although I don't have the tires off yet. If you are
interested in this type of wheel center I will dismount the tires and make
sure the rims are in good shape. Yes, they are for sale.

Dean,

    I am using PC-330.  I guess I will need keep my
eye out for the originals you mentioned.   I did read
your article in the newsletter.   I thought you were
refering to Sland Dash B's,  which mine is not.  You
have seen it,  it's the one I bought from Dave.   

    While we are on the subject of 39 B's,  I don't
recall what the 39 you parted out had for wheels... 
What were they,  do you still have them,  are they for
sale.  etc.  etc...

                      Chris
