Egad, Scotty, beam me up!
OK...first, you DID get a quote, so I appologize.
Second, although I value my time highly, if I can buy
the tube for 8 bucks, and cut/drill in 15 minutes, it'd
be worth messing with. 34 bucks is somewhat higher than
reasonable. Even if I DO understand the industrial costing
involved, I'd think twice.
I'll visit the garage now, and see what's what. Msg
privately, if I have it, Scotty.
