Good luck with the project Bill and sorry i have nothing to add
if you're using google chrome
Search for "Photobucket Hotlink Fix" offered by bridgetroll.io and install it.
Reload the page and it will show the images, for now, until photobucket changes it and makes it note work again

Not to change the subject (but this is an old thread) but where does Photobucket get the ***** to start charging you to access your information that was uploaded for free at the time? I hope anyone that did use the free Photobucket got their files back for free.
This is why I'll never store any of my information on the cloud.

Does anyone know if the 2 plastic guides for the plenum rod are available anywhere? If not, what's the best way to fix a cracked guide? The original part number is 3949890 but no longer available.

11 years later and the part number AND PRICE are still the same at Doc Rebuild for the tubing... I got mine just the other day!

CORRECTION: I mis-spoke...The price has gone DOWN to $24.50!!

i couldn't find those guides anywhere, so i weighed my options, make from metal? 3d print? or cast my own, i went to the hobby store and got resin cast and plastic kit, made mold from original and cast my own. worked great! i tried gluing and epoxy the cracked parts they didn't last on the job but looked good freshly glued.
yea this is a old thread but someone else could use this info in the future
