All,          My subs sitting with
26" of Hg over at my shop !!     Did have a bit
of a problem however,  I had to clamp the hatch down because I have a
slight warp, probably from a couple of welds done after machining, should be
able to remedy that with another trip to the big lathe.</SPAN></FONT>
