Thanks again for the advice. I live in Canada (Calgary, Alberta), and I don't know if the price of shipping it down there would be worth it, but I will check into it. For now, it is stipped down to bare metal, and it will stay that way until I find the best solution. It's easy enough to unbolt again. I was thinking of painting them both black (POR 15), to direct more attantion towards the engine... Just a thought.
Thanks, L8R.
