Hey Bob,
About my 914, still in its box, "no" I haven't checked with Bert Flood. What I
want is to get a perspective other than Bert Floods of what is required. I want
to check up on what they tell me, but I am attempting to do it in reverse order.
So, the plan was to get overseas opinion such that I would know what the
collective view was of what I needed to do, before I spoke to Bert Flood
Imports.
Anyway, right or wrong, that was the plan.
