  Re: Another parts request - thin walls
 
First, they are mailboxes, NOT safes! John, how large an opening do you have to cover with the clear pieces? I have quite a few of the thin wall pieces in clear, 4 wide 3 high (26), 2 wide 3 high (18) and 2 wide 2 high (8). These are the same type (...) (24 years ago, 20-Aug-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)
