Hi Art,

Yep you are right! I spent more time writing than it would take to take one of those apart.
I figure, WHAT FUN would there be in doing that. (:-)
I might have one but it looks better laying around as a possibly good one.
If I cut one open I might have to keep that spring! It's a nice one!
That FPR spring in that other half is a whole lot thicker than I imagined. Didn't see much of it before from your pictures.
In fact, you know I would. YUM!
You never know where one might fit someday. Remember... I fixed my M46 overdrive pump check valve with a orphaned spring!

Besides, I love to see your pictures! (:-) I knew how the FPR works. Thank you for showing us it's flaws.
Maybe I should try sign language on videos to help stop the spread of my poor verbalization.
How does that work if you have arthritis or stutter? Just kidding! (:-)

I guess I will have to work with what I'm dealt and follow your lead, one way or the other.

Here we go again as it helps everyone.

Phil
