Glad you got it sorted..

You know, you need thick skin if you want to survive on a Public Forum. Especially one with a great bunch of guys who don't take themselves too seriously but will have all the answers for you, like this Forum..

It was seen that you got the proper answer right away, and that's how it should be. After that, it's fair game.

Don't be shy if you have any more questions - you may take some heat (like all of us have) but we will make sure that you get the answer or are steered in the right direction..

This is great! This needs to be turned into a t-shirt asap. I'd buy.

OP just for clarification, wasn't my intention to cause offense, I personally enjoyed that it didn't look all that bad! Anyhow, hope to see you around the forum more -- we are a warm bunch!.. sorta.

Adam,

I'm thinking of putting a 93150 on my 5512, should I use 580 end links?

Thanks.

I agree 100%, its part of the learning curve. I spend 20+ years in the military and received plenty of...learning, it's just part of the game.

OP, don't sweat it, its all in good fun and there are a lot of members who will post ridiculous question just to get a rise out of others...obviously that's not you but, some of these guys been here for a long time and have seen it all, gotta respect that.
