I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~

i think the crossmember may be notched on the box with the flex-o-matic springs to allow the futher travel of the flex part.
since both the 70 and 72 have the flex-o-matic's ill look at the 72 box tommorrow

wonder if you could take a hammer and flatten the cross member until it fits?
