[AT] DC Case

[Ron Cook]

Ralph,
     Just be sure you put the plug back in!!

     The turning brake pedals on the old DC we had were on each side of 
the seat and the had clutch was on the right, so it would operate just 
the opposite as yours.  Maybe it could be installed either side??  I 
don't remember that much as it was so long ago and I didn't like that 
thing anyway.  Sort of pushed it out of my memory, I guess.  All I know 
is that I had never seen another even close resemblance until last 
fall.  And that one had cast front wheels which ours did not or I would 
not have been able to snap on those old 16 inch car hubcaps.
