I'll take them off your hands; save you a trip to the dump! :ROFL:

You're so good to me. I'll bring them down Friday morning to MJ's for inspection.
Do you want a tin of intersleek for below the waterline? :ROFL:
I'll bring down as many spares as I can find and you can dig thru it, like the snap on van but with 8 bits.
