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.

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...
