 :) I had approximately a dozen rubber signal indicator stalks, of various quality, taking up room in one of my parts bins. So I thought that I might chuck them out as no one seems to have any use for them...I know, I know, I shouldn't throw Vision stuff out. Anyway, I was thinking what I could do with them.......when it dawned on me!!!
I gave them all to my buddy Big Barrie, who is a retired machine guy with various machines set up in his place and asked if he could do what I was thinking :o  ;) "sure" says he, "leave them with me".
He came by tonight with the bag of recycled rubber signal stalks...all machined down, diameter wise and length wise to...we made them in to short stalks...2" shorter to be exact...They give the Vision a newer look/style by bringing them in to the body by 2"...8) No more droopy signal stalks but nice recycled short stalks that really look great.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA lets go again baby !!!!!!

I had a VISION of a large lathe wobbling 4 inches back and forth on about 50 of those turn signal stalks!

It was very silly.
