When I install RLETs, I prefer to have Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On" playing in the background and I sometimes have a smoke afterward.

Lalo Schifrin. Good choice. The dude scored Bullitt, instantly making him the coolest composer of all time.

And the tension of installing RLETs is just as palpable as Frank Bullitt's struggle to triumph over evil while making his boss look like a total knob.

"I have a dream..." or rather I HAD a dream, just the other night.
In bed and staring at the ceiling, the bedroom suddenly filled with an incredibly bright light, and there, before me, appeared the vision of... an RLET!
I didn't know what to do...
Was it a dream? A vision? A warning even...?? Sad

Suffice to say that, in great fear and trepidation, I placed my order first thing the very next morn, and said RLETs are winging their celestial way (or however the Post Office deal with such things) towards me, even as we speak.

I expect to be anointed with their presence in a day or two.
O blessed am I.
I shall no longer be accursed among the RLETTERS as an 'unworthy'. I shall rise up and take my rightful place alongside such anointed stalwarts as Cormanus, Popgun and His Gloriousness my lord Ferret... and others. Big Grin

Praise the RLETs - my passport to the Inner Sanctum! Excited

Little bastuds... Dodgy
They've led me a merry dance this afternoon. I've heated them, greased 'em, wiggled, pulled, pushed, stretched, poked, prodded, cajoled, begged and pleaded...

Finally... I "persuaded" them on with a little-known Oriental trick called "Stretchy-Rletty"...
It involves inserting a small electrical screwdriver in the little hole in the end and using it as a lever to stretch it on. (Threatening to rip its guts open helps enormously... shouted at the top of your voice too!)

I'm sure the pair I was supplied with were intended for one of Honda's 50cc mopeds...

Oooo, Baz, ... your procedure appears almost like a torture chamber. Maybe the most dramatic yet.

Some Forum members is gonna ask, "Did you get 'em on?" ... followed by ... " ... pics please!".
