I have a completely open mind about the slides.  I am certainly not
against them.    I was not aware that they have been tested and
proven.  How could I have missed that?   I increased the diameter of
the injector bosses from .75 to 1.25 "   I don't see the
problem.      Jerry


Paul, Here are some dims for the injector bosses.
