Thread missing? 8-3/4 housing end as welded for shortened housing...

I get the OP asking to have the post removed but what does the vender not being on the FABO list have to do with it? I don't even recall the vender being named?(But I might have missed that)
Can't answer that question since I wasn't following the thread all that close....and generally, we don't remove a vendor's comment unless they start hawking their wares in the regular forums.
