Re: Speedo cable attachment point (was Re: [T3] those rubber bump stoppers)

<x-flowed>I love my little Fasty...I bought it 'cuz it looks like a baby Porsche...

I was offshore on a flat-bottom inland waters drilling rig and missed it!
Regards, Steve J.
71 Fasty in Houston, TX...home of the almost world series winning Astros!
