Speaking of the S-Beam, a word of caution & a question.

On the caution front, I tore down the S-Beam to bead-blast it before
priming & discovered significant amounts of cutting fluid wicked beneath
the mounting blocks.  My presumption is that the local rework of the
SBeam is the source of this fluid.  In any case, I'm sure it would not
have done good things for the rubber Barry mounts if not caught &
cleaned up.  Folks who are getting this rework done for them should
either remove the mounting blocks beforehand themselves, or check afterward.

On the question side -- I did not pay enough attention when tearing down
the SBeam.  I cannot remember whether the rubber mounts are installed
male-side up from the bottom, or male side down from the top.
Logically, it seems like male-side up from the bottom makes the most
sense.  Jerry/Paul -- which way is right??

Male side up sounds right.
