[Healeys] Temperature sender--radiator fitting thread

[Michael Oritt]

Dave--

Thanks for the offer but I believe Michael Salter is sending me the blank
that was found on 100-6 rads.

If they don't arrive before Mr. Trump is elected and constructs a 30' wall
at the Canadian border they will undoubtedly be confiscated.  In that case
I will let you know.

Best--Michael Oritt
