    Mike,

    It is lower than my old / standard creeper, so I guess it is somewhat lower. The best part is the wheels. They are not creeperesk, so they actually work well.

    They are available all over, so type "The Bone Creeper" into Google and you will see that they come up everywhere from Amazon to regular parts houses.

    Thumbs up MangoMike = Internet god

    Now that was some damn useful information with a great photo illustration. I think I will order me up a batch of those bad boys and let the wiring begin.

    Thanks a lot for taking the time to do that.

    Jerry,

    Glad to help. I want you to look good at the POG rally, just so Jon can eat his heart out.

    Forgot to mention that IBP also has a stainless steel base rim that you can order extra with the fixture. I passed as I believe they were about $20 each, but you might want to check.

    I am just trying to figure out how to get my coach from Houston to the rally without getting any crap on it as I know there will be a How-clean-is-Jon's-coach pissing contest when we all arrive

    I thought about wrapping it up or maybe stopping in some town short of the rally for a short clean up and engine detailing so as to not offend Jon's sense of cleanliness.

    And how good is it that Jon is not here to defend himself? Yes, stay gone another week Jon and we can do just what it is I am good at; having fun at the expense of others..........

    Jerry, Flat bed the sucker! Stuff your family in the cab of a Kenworth sleeper hooked up to a nice long lowboy. It will be expensive....but clean. Ken

    K&E,

    I think you need to find us a good clean-up place north of the rally point and we can get the conga line of cleaning going there. We can get Jon and the turbo wheel buffer going and that should take care of errant road gunk and the odd rain shower.........

    Or we can get Lew to show us the telescoping squeegie trick. In fact, I think I will just offer my coach up as the cleaning technique test bed for all those anal cleaning types and they can show us their skills at the rally.

    Everyone wins

    Received the marker lights in perfect shape. Thank you.

    Started replacing a few real bad lenses and decided to see if I could come up with a polish that would keep the plastic shined. Doubt that I can. Time will tell.

    Thanks again, mango mike and there will always be extra parts to the marker lights in my shop on wheels.

    The big thing I noticed, was that I won't have to purchase anymore 24v bulbs from anyone.

    Default You can make them new!

    Lew, your welcome.

    You can bring back those lenses. I did repolish about 4 of them before I decided to go to the LED's and they came out looking like new. Unfortunately for you I sent them the Ken who was the first guy to ask for the lights. In any case go to Eastwood and get the polish.

    And order the special plastic buffing wheel. It works wonders, but it takes about 10 minutes per lens to do it right.

    Thanks to Jon for the Eastwood tip.

    Lew, If you want to wait I'll bring my plastic polishing stuff and buffer to the POG rally and you can give it a try before you spend any money at Eastwood.
