Yes, a PDF was rendered. Bill provided me with all of his source Word files and I replied with a PDF. I am not sure if we can post a .pdf file format on this forum or not and it's Bill's creative endeavor not mine (I didn't want to step on any toes or claim ownership of someone else's hard work).

Ok, just let me know and I can update the final PDF document. I will send you a PM with my email address. Did you want to look into posting the PDF as a sticky?

I used your parts list to order all hte parts for my conversion, however I had one question.

On the rear parts list (Bottom of the list) there a part number
11519444= Pushpin Fasteners

My question is, you say "pushpin fastener(s) but only one part number with no quantity listed. do you only need one or does that part number include multiple pins?

If anyone can provide this information, let me know.
