[AJD] Light mounting on 39 hand start B

[Chris C]

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
