Default Thanks for the effort Rob...

I still think that there might be a small piece of the big 17 sitting in some obscure pile of salvage. But you know the yard better than anyone, and this was close but no cigar. Cheers Rob

How do you know if it is inert or a dud? I would hate to be responsible for finding you something that caused harm in the end.
