They work. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/pow-pow351037 This doesn't. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/kdt-2078/overview/ In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

Use a short/stout dummy horizontle shaft & bolt it to 2 saddles at a time. EDIT A small telescoping magnet works VG for snatching the keepers Last edited by RapidRobert; 02/10/16 02:13 PM. live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth
