Things of the past.....some of us are lucky enough to miss them instead of never knowing they existed.

Very true, Rupert; I'm glad I experienced things like the old leather worker; it definitely enriched my life. Of course couldn't say the same for my Mother, when I started building & tooling a saddle in our little living room!

Here's a strap I made many years ago for a rifle of mine.

My apologies to the OP, for getting waaaay off topic.

Getting back on topic, the PT Cruiser must not be too popular here, as I've only seen a couple around town.

I had to look at my Nissan Frontier to see how the tierod is attached, just for piece of mind.

I like the six speed in our 2001 Miata but it may not be cost-effective if it doesn't bolt on or you have to change the axle ratio.

I can get another used tranny or rebuild that one. A low mileage 5-speed NB tranny would be ideal. I just have to switch the speedo cable & I think the mounting plate. Slightly stronger than the NA tranny.
