Re: IML: 60 starter heat saturation

["Rob van der Es" <R.vdes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Great Tom!,

Dan Melnik of the IML is trying to get me a rebuild starter for my 60, but 
if he didn't have any luck with it I hope I can get back to you and work out 
some deal.

That is what this list is all about: such a great place to meet people that 
want to help each other in keeping those Imps on the road!

Thanks a lot guys,

Robert
