<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Patrick, I don't see =
anything
special about the felt used on the mufflers. I would think any similar =
thickness
of felt would do. You can buy it at a fabric store for about three =
dollars a
square yard, enough to do a dozen muffler rails. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Getting it =
permanently attached
to the rail is another story, but I think you could make it work without =
too
much trouble.</FONT></DIV>

Felt</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Hello All: A minor request here. I have a customer who =
wants
the muffler<BR>rail felt replaced on her old upright. Does =
anyone know
if local fabric<BR>stores would possible carry a similiar type of =
felt, or am
I going to have<BR>to order it from the supply house? I would normally =
order
it from the supply<BR>house, but just put in an order yesterday for =
other
stuff, and am reluctant<BR>to make a order for just one $4 item if
possible. Yes, I could wait for my<BR>next cumulative order, but =
just
thought someone may have found an adequate<BR>substitute. Thanks, =
