The recommended material for the u-channel is  K&S #181 1/8" brass U channel.

I am sure you will find a source for it with a quick web search.

Yessir, I have no credit cards. I live on a 400 acre tobacco farm, and round here we use cash or just dont buy at all. :)

so because of that i have to find someone that will take cash online(as in me mail a mo) or find something at a store near me.

Ray,

I have some channel, too. I forgot that Frank gave me some the last time I was there. I will mail you a 3 1/2" piece, that's enough to make 2 Longhorns (if you screw one up). I have your address, so I will put in the mail on Monday.

Audio by Van Alstine just gives, gives, gives.........

Ray,

You also need some 1000 centistroke liquid silicone to do the Longhorn mod the right way. Do you have any of this stuff?

Beautiful area, N.C. farm country.  I attended college in southeastern N.C., near the S.C. border, and probably not too far from you.  My folks live in upstate S.C.

I don't recall any liquid silicone being used for the long horn.

Wouldn't it leak out after awhile? Hate to have it drip down into the groove.

No complaints ever about the silicon contaminating record surfaces.

If you want some, send me a SMALL (like TINY) container that can absolutely be sealed and I will send you the 1000cc silicon. All you need is a few drops.  Also send $10 for return shipping and handling.

Regards,

Frank
