Marcos Maniacs

Hi Ed,
Thanks for making this point. I remembered that once I read your post.
I have checked with Hayes to see which types of light covers he can get
and will let everyone know.

FYI, in reagrds to the lens covers there are at least two different 
sizes depending if you have the clip on type or use the rubber gasket.
The clip on ones will be larger. I sent Bob Magnotti a pair a couple 
of years ago and they would not fit at all.
