Good thought. As I grind away at the "e" clips (that
still seem massive for the space) and search from
store to store for thin (really thin)washers, the
bread-bag twist tie seems to be calling my name. But
no, I must resist and go for the best, and closest to
original equipment I can possibly do.
Nothing short of perfection will suffice. I mean, who
would stoop to an adulterated repair when the original
design is so simple, so elegant so "right."
Now if I cut out the centers of the "e" clips and
stick them in place with JB weld, they will look
almost original, and should hold for awhile. Then if I
ever sell it I can join the ranks of DPO's and hold my
head up high and carry on the tradition of
"transitional" modifications for the sake of
expediency and originality.
With apologies to the purists among us and the
non-purists who may still be rational,
cheers, bill b.
