I noticed, but I figured you had a plan to get the right ones in place. I know you, it'd drive you bonkers to leave the wrong part in place on a full-on restoration, for any length of time.

I like the tail. The only problem with it is that it can't hold as many beers as the big ones.

Dang Jeff! That restoration is absolutely beautiful! Those pictures are absolutely valuable to anyone doing a restoration. Sorry it took so long for me to see this.I had to laugh when you said only number 11 LOL! That is quite a few and I think it definitely puts you into the expert category when it comes to these triples. You will definitely be my go to guy should I have any questions when I do my 73 H1.
