Yeah! New Tubes!!
Well I finally pulled the trigger and ordered a set of new tubes from Henshaws. Now all I have to do is figure out how to get them out of Customs and 4 hours north to where I am...

Yeah, unless the customer makes some decisions

As for the people at henshaws I'm not sure I could say enough nice things about them. They were fantastic. Can't wait to see my new tubes.

Bare tubes. It's an old zodiac and like the willards, the tubes bolt on with 160 bolts.

No time to get them off my truck. You think it's ok if they get rained on?

Small hiccup with this process, they didn't fit. Wing-Henshaw took care if everything and now we look like this.
