Fair to say Our Texan Statesman BCP has seen it all....

Here’s a link to the recent thread he’s referring to. Includes a pic where to put the magnet.

That part is readily available and cheap to boot. The magnet fix is cool if you choose to go that route.

the answer is:......Thanks Graham! I didn't like it a first but now that I have gotten used to it and watch for it....It's OK! I remember answering a question that some Guy back in 2010 had asked.....after I realized what I had done, I felt like a dummy but that's nothing new! It's kind'a fun going back to see what was happening to our X-100's in the mid to early teens....some things don't change! I was driving my newer 2005 XKR back then and I guess if I had known about the Forums, I could have learned a bunch more about it back then...……...

Billy Clyde.
