Re: Turn Signal Wiring Harness Removal

[Don Owen <d4owe9@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Houston, thanks again. I did get the metal pins out with some bending 
and distortion, but
was able to re-shape the little devils (with reading glasses, of course). 
They should be OK when we put it all back together in 2007 
or....humnnnnn...it is 2007....maybe 2008! Thanks and a safe and happy one 
to everybody. Donny, 64 Belvedere.
