Message	To hedge his bets vs possible labor costs. That's why he won't buy from Courtesy, because you know the price is cheaper, and he's probably getting it from Courtesy as well, and marking it up. IMHO, get the one from courtesy and have him install it. Shouldn't have an issue with a new compressor. "I'm glad I have the MSP mani's." - jschrauwen 22:20:13 06/10/08 "...Downpipes own.
