It's Monday and there is not much traffic on here so I thought I would throw 
out a tidbit of inormation.
 
Just got through reading a news release on a recall of Walt Disney glasses 
(drinking) that were being sold at DisneyLand/World.  Made in China, painted 
Disney characters on the glasses, contain something like 400 times the safe 
lead level content in the paint.
 
Yesterday, friend called.  Wanted to know if I had a center intake manifold for 
dual port; duh, yeah, how many do you want.  He had just bought a new one ($75) 
and started installing it.  Guess what:  The long pipe was on the short pipe 
side and the short pipe was on the long side.  Will install and work just fine 
except the carb would now be located just about the center of the generator.  
Guess where it was made?  
 
And at $75 each I have just discovered I am rich.
 
And I can't wait to buy the next Chinese made VW part for my bus.
