I was perusing through my book of Service Bulletins again today and stumbled across something rather interesting.
Henry suggested that when the points seemed to be dirty or corroded or in some way in need of a cleaning, that a whetstone be used to burnish the pads. Well, I was thinking to myself, since most of the folk I know that own a Model A might not even know what a whetstone is, let alone OWN one thin enough to enable them to clean the points, why can't we use something a bit more inline with the times.
So, while I was visiting my local drug dispensary, I happened across the section on hygiene *shudders* and noticed a rather interesting object. A steel nail file with some nice fine abrasive on both sides and thought, what a wonderful idea for a point file.
Since we all visit the drug dispensary monthly to pick up our supply of life enhancing chemicals, what harm could there be in walking down the nail polish isle and gathering up a Revlon red handle nail file? You MUST walk to the rear of the store for those chemicals, so take a bold trip down the polish isle and snag a file for each "A" tool kit, and one for the garage tool box.
Who knows, they might even be able to be used when you snag that nail on some part of the car and rip that nail back to that nasty scraggly broken finger nail that bugs ya because it isn't even with the rest of those claws. Pffft, who'da thunk.
