 re dennis fickens
hi yes i am aware of this facility ,but i would like to do it myself i am a 30yr experienced tech, i contacted him a while ago but he was unwilling to supply the seals to do it . i realise that an unexperienced person could have problems ,but as i know seals are usually pennies and the distance i would have to send all of my cylinders _( i live in spain !) ,i feel the best way to proceed is to have seals delivered to me . i am still looking into source for seals. i did a temp repair with an adapted seal to the one i have leaking(it took me 20 mins to remove and refit )so its not urgent at moment.thanks anyway fro reply,

As you know there are 10 cylinders that control the top and they can range anywhere from $150.00-$700.00 MSRP US new. I really don't find $40.00/cylinder repair to be to expensive. But again, I wish you luck and please keep us posted on your sucess as well as your findings.

 The Terminator 4 Salvations
The Terminator franchise is what got me interested in the movies in the first place. The first was a suspenseful cyberpunk thriller, and the second became my favorite movie of all time. The third fell short of intelligence but still solid nonetheless, and the TV series was a good addition to the franchise. Nearing the end of May, the fourth and latest film addition of the beloved sci-fi franchise will open, and viewers are in for a sheer summer spectacle.
