[Fot] Expired Belts (was Shop cleaning)

Tue Jan 5 14:40:06 MST 2021

Amici,

One nice feature that was pointed out to me when I had to make a harness
decision is that Crow Enterprizes offers rewebbing of your hardware. Simply
send in your harness and hardware and they will reweb it a reduced cost to
a full new harness.

They have unfortunately relocated to North Las Vegas so I can no longer
stop by on the way to work at their former Anaheim location.
