They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

If so all parts would need to be the same style. 72 down goes in from the bottom I know. cny25421@centurytel.net 70 Duster Turbo Charged 79 Lil Red Express Bonded Locksmith
