[Healeys] APT

[Bob Spidell]

Some oldtimers here may recall that I tried to put together an order for 
a batch of K&N filters for BJ8s. On BJ8s, the front filter has to fit 
partially under the shroud; Dave fabbed a prototype with the hole high 
in the backplane so the filter would sit low enough to fit. He sent me 
the prototype, along with a couple 'stub stacks' that fit inside and I 
promptly started enlisting buyers on this list. I had 15 or so owners 
lined-up but, unfortunately Dave's wife was injured in a car crash and, 
well, he lost interest (understandably). He never asked for payment, and 
he was exceedingly pleasant to deal with.
