Jim Carter was pretty cool about doing what they could to fix the problem. They were willing to send out the elbow hose, and when I told them I already bought one locally and modified it to work, he credited me the full stand-alone price of the hose as if I had ordered it from them. I give them credit for admitting the problem and fixing it the fullest extent that they could.

Richard- I haven't yet ordered the holder. I'm still trying to get the heater project fully complete so that I can take out my bolt and drive it! I don't want to get too many parts on the bench waiting for me. I expect to order late next week so that its arrival will match my free time availability to install it. I sure did think about the powder coated one when I was reinstalling that corroded one, though!
