    Help to dismantle ABS Modulator

    I can confirm that this is the guy indeed! I contacted him when I had the "TWANG" problem on my P38. I was going to use his services but he had too much work on his plate to send me a reconditioned box quickly so I went the expensive way and bought a new one that was apparently build in 2008.
