[AT] Impulse bidding on eBay

[Dudley Rupert]

Gene & Ron,

You guys are right - I now see the gismo on the right fender as well.

So, we have one vote for Heat Houser and one vote for grease gun
holder/umbrella holder ... will someone please break the tie?

Dudley

The left fender has a grease gun holster.  I am just guessing about the
right fender, but I think it is an umbrella mount.
