400-500 problems! That's alot - even more than me!
All you Ottawa guys interested should seriously consider arranging to come down (up) to Montreal for a "repair/mod day" where we all rent a bay at the local garage, and address whatever mods/repairs are on our to do list. I'm sure most of what we want to do is do-able with the expertise on hand (J-Lab, Mangler, Silversvt). For me this happens almost every weekend, but that's thanks to the help of the aforementioned local experts. This could be more fun than the regular "hang out and talk" style meet and could happen anytime anyone has a Saturday off.
I would take the opportunity to install my dual-mode crank damper. Anyone wanting to sample Zaino could try some of mine.
Again, something that we can look forward to this summer.
