Re: Weize AGM battery

UPDATE: Good news. After a number of emails with FedEx, I was told that the "claim" must be initiated by the sender (Weize). Afterwards, Weize did come back to me with an apology and proposal to...

Re: 82 Morgan OI 416 porthole window replacements?

Is that group still active?
It doesn't show when I search from within Facebook, and from Google I can follow the link (facebook.com/groups/Morgan41OIOwnersGroup/) but it only leads to a locked page.
