Thank you so much for the of letting me have those fuel pumps for my Viking 110. I will be glad to pay the shipping and anything else that is required. If you can give me an idea of what shipping should should be, I'll be glad to send it over to you by PayPay. Please add something to compensate you for your time and packaging. You can reach me directly at Brad@ocbis.com. I can't believe you have been to Irvine, maybe next time you visit your sister we can get together and swap stories and I'll but you lunch.
Thanks again - Brad

Hi John sorry I just haven't gotten back to you but I did by two batteries on that promotion from Wicks and thank you for the heads up. I needed two because I'm using a covair motor and that battery has the ability to shut itself off and then I become a glider, but buy just flicking a swt. I convert to the standby Thanks again Ron
