I tried to buy some from Tomlin and he told me 1) he didnt know how many good ones he had left 2)didnt know where they were 3) didnt know if he wanted to sell anymore since he didnt know how many he needed for his radios.My question is if you dont want to sell it why advertise it?

Thanks, I might check this out. Tomlin is in poor health, and I have the feeling he really does not want to work for a while, which is a good thing to rest and take care of your self first. Rainman is also interested in a cover, so I'll check with him too and let him know. Thanks, Seabee

I live about 30 min from Jack Tomlin's place and my sister-in-law lives in the same small town; we spend a lot of time in Tooele. I picked up a front spindle and a light switch from him back in June. In spite of his poor health, he bent over backward to accommodate me when I needed the spindle the night before I hooked up with the MVPA convoy. When we couldn't find a lug nut, he insisted that I take one off the MUTT we were driving around his lot. He said, "One of my workers will notice it missing and find a replacement." He has stacks of A2s but not so many A1 parts. I was going to pick up a windshield for Baios when I got home but you guys already beat me to it.

He has been in and out of the hospital at least a couple times lately and was looking rather rough back in June. I joined the local MVPA club - http://www.utahmvc.org/minutes - and he's frequently mentioned in the minutes. I hope to get to know him better and would love to spend more time poking around his lot.

Hi Francis, Thanks for the update. When I talked to him, I understood what he was going thru, since i had a sister in a similar situation for recovery. Tell him we wish him the best, and I plan on calling him this week as well. Thanks, Seabee
