Cat & Firebob, Thanks for the input. Luckily, Rich Plumb, a corvette guru up here in New England is running the resto, and he knows how to improvise. Ames provided me with a guide that was about 3/4" wide, straight and 4" long. As per Catalina's pic, the application calls for a bend (about 90 degrees) and there is NOT enough clearance for much more than 3/8", and then you have to contend with the z-bar pivot. Gents - your input saved a weekend of trying to put a square peg in a round hole (and WHAT IS UP WITH AMES???). I've got the first round. - John
