Thanks!
Yeah, I'm doing the Parade. Today I'm seeing an "oldtimer" in the neighborhood autobody shop. He's gonna take a look at them. They seem to have gotten squished front to back in shipping. They grab about half back on my calves with hang points on my kneecaps and ankles. The front camber is gone, so they won't seat properly. There seems to be the right circumference, but the "oval" cross-section is going the wrong way. I'll give this guy a shot (at least he knows what an English wheel is - his younger co-workers did not). If it doesn't work, they will probably need to be annealed before more is done to them. They are "springy", now, and will stiffen with work...
I'll keep you posted.
