<VV> Static Sparks at the Damper

[FrankCB at aol.com]

Smitty,
    I like your idea better than mine.  But  let's ADD to it my 4 painted 
stripes every 90 degrees radially across  the HD so any slippage of the outer 
ring is OBVIOUS every time you look at  the engine from the rear of the car.

oil  filter.  Ever since then I have used a formed flat strap bolted to the  
puller holes with the ends extending out and lightly touching the outer  ring. 
 No arcing, no sparking and damper loss prevention all in  one.
