Surely we haven't come to the point of "political correctness" that we can no longer spell certain words properly. Would you really a call a peacock a peathingy? I don't think so! Gads!

I wrote the perfectly correct word petcock and it was replaced by the non-word petthingy. Talk about about Morality Police!

I wonder what would happen if you cocked a gun? Or went off half-cocked? Or if you were thingy-of-the-walk? Or if it warmed the cockles of Rooster Cockburn's heart?

I would add to be careful no to loose either of the two rubber tank supports. They are donut shaped pieces of rubber that the tank sits on (one on either side of the frame tube)

It's easy for one of these to fall off and roll away without noticing it .. and then when you re-install the tank ... you wonder why it rattles when you go over a bump;-)

I glued these little beauties in place the last time I had the tank off. They should not ever fall off again!
