No problem. I was fortunate to find 6276 almost intact in a big-box auction I
bought just little while ago (and no, you can't have the arches) and agree
that it's a super set. You're doubling all three dimensions of 375? Boy,
that _is_ going to be big! I'd suggest using a series of reverse slopes
(low-slope on top of regular on top of extreme) to approximate the arch but I
think you'd have just as much trouble finding them in yellow. Looking forward
to your pictures.
Cheers, Heather
