The tail dolly for my new WalletWhomper II came without a handle on top. I want to add one. I am betting that drilling holes and using flathead machine screws from inside will still endanger the fuse boom. Any hot tips? (Besides "If you have to ask, don't do it.") 2NO

Folks, could anyone tell me what the part number/description is for the fitting that screws into the bottom of the PIK-20 ballast dump tube for filling. My PIK's ballast system appears to be in good repair but I can't seem to find what fitting to use. I'm sure it is some kind of metric...

I've never used hard wax before, but since the factory recommends it on the gelcoat, I'm going to give it a try. I just have no clue how to go about it. (My Google search results are great -- for hair removal!) I have a Makita 0-3000rpm variable speed polisher, a brick of hard wax, and a mandrel...
