Bill, sorry for the misdirection on the Ideal in Mike's picture. Not only do I own an Ideal, but I own the Ideal in the pic, and am the friend Mike hooked up with Kirk.
Another modification was replacing the sling. It currently has a non-MF sling terminated with an incorrect hook. (not the correct term) Mike has kindly obtained the correct Napoleon hat hook for me from France and I bought the correct sling (currently lost in a house move). I hope I get the sling straight sometime soon. I'm not sure what to do, if anything, with the bump.
My post was a poor attempt to yank Mike's chain.
