Hi Bob,
Geeeeessse, I looked all through that damm book and didn't see that
picture. Tells you something about my powers of observation doesn't it!
Sure you want to be some of that sheet metal from me now <G>.
After reading the text on the two pages that talk about that picture it
sounds like it was a random thing to have or not have the cut out there.
Makes me feel a little better. I don't remember noticing on the tub that I've
located whether the cutout was there or not. Looks like it doesn't really
matter.
Thanks for pointing that out.
