thanks Bob,
I searched the internets as well and came across these and few others that are promising. I'm also perusing the manuals since those photolithographs are so beautiful.

That mounting plate looks a lot bigger than the one mine came with, which was a much smaller u-shaped plate that screwed right down without any mods. Methinks you may have the wrong one?
I'm sure someone here will post a pic of theirs, I'm not near my truck right now.

Gents,
I am on the look-out for some images of a 230 with the head removed, preferably a bird's eye view if possible. I supposed the images could also be of the inner side of a head.

I'd be curious how long one can use the same "batch" of juice before it loses its effectiveness. I can imagine the acid eventually breaking down after chewing through lots of rust.....keep us posted!

I can easily say which I'd rather smell.......

recently I've been daydreaming about buying, restoring and selling these beasts as a full-time venture......

sounds like a business opportunity for someone.....if someone had one I'd consider reverse-engineering it and make some tooling for them.

I always use a square piece of 2x4 between the jack stand and the axle. It gives a little bit more height (1.5") and the wood slightly deforms under the weight to cradle it fairly well. Maybe some board stock underneath would give some height also or some larger jack stands. thanks, I was plan...
