If Dante was alive during the last twenty years, he would have rewritten "Inferno" (Divine Comedy, Paradise Lost, etc.) to include a special ring in Hell just for the guys who invented (or merely chose to use) the FRIGGIN' INSTRUMOUNT!!!

I am so tired of having to cut a/o dremel off these damn things. How many more projects will I have to delay the completion of because I spent hours getting past these damnable things during removal and THEN have to wait for new ones to come in, because my only alternative was to destroy the ones installed.

If the Heater pump wasn't so heavy, I seriously would have considered reinstalling the heater valve and pump assembly WITHOUT the lower Instrumounts.

And of course, the upcoming cross-country trip will be run in something "other" than my beloved Kitty while I wait for new Instrumounts to come in. (....groan)

Sorry guys - I just really NEEDED this rant.
