More details on the stuff I have, but don't need. If you are interested, but think my prices are out of whack, make an offer ! I intend to list everything in the classified, if no-one wants it at the rally.

25-30' of cable for a slave cable (I've got the NOS ends already, but haven't gotten around to buying cable yet)

Water, bathrooms and power in the clubhouse, but not anywhere else. We just camp out in the big field / parking area around the club house.
If it is the same as the u-channel ones used in the deuce, good luck ! There are some threads in the deuce section about different alternatives. Note that the bottom piece is a different x-section then the other three. I tried a bunch of stuff- different close but not quite right channels from...

Those hooks seem to be unobtainium, I have several broken ones and tried to find replacments. One of my clients makes a lot of aerospace and mil spec softgoods, and I spent a long lunch with one of their older engineers going through all the catalogs and online searches looking for replacements...
