[SEL] OT////// AM transmitter

[Alan]

Actually I  like Form Nails even better than deck screws for my
 engine blocks.
I am talking about the nails with two heads.
One to set and the other one stands tall for easy pulling.
Faster to set than screws and faster to remove.
Just a hammer and no fancy cordless drill.
The screws might hold tighter but the nails are less likely to
 snap off in a quick stop.

Wimps. :-P

4" bullet head nails, soap, favorite claw hammer, 1/8" nail punch ......

Yeah, and a jumbo pack of adhesive dressings. :-(
