I looked in my photobucket and I dont have it there.I had a computer meltdown awhile back and had to have a computer repair place save my documents to a disc.I will go see if I still have one by the Dr.,I'm pretty sure I have one by Zip but let me make sure its one of their corrected versions.

DW,
When you mention the 'corrected' version, are you referring to the location of the 'blue' hose on the headlight switch? That's the only error I know of. I would like to have a correct copy, thanks.

Alan
