I was hoping it would be an easy fix with a $50 part, but stopped by my indy shop yesterday at Doc's in Columbia, SC. I mentioned in my previous post that my clamshell was not sitting flush on the left side. without pictures, I had replies suggesting it was warped. The mechanic yesterday without taking a hard look said it was likely a broken cable on one side preventing it from being flush. That changed my $50 job into a $1200 job. They are pretty good at Doc's, but this was just a quick assessment without really looking at it. I thought I'd post this info again with pictures and ask again before committing my wallet.....




$1,200.00?

Pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft.

Find a new indy, or do it yourself.

Pros soon will chime in.
