Hi, Mike:

I thought I'd better check back here in case you replied to the list.

Frustrating situation, but best of luck in a clean resolution!

I think I mentioned the guy at the rest shop has an Isetta, and it is mint.

I bet he's on the Isetta groups, he actually drives the car into a tiny corner of the machine shop every day!

All the Best.
