I've got a 6 year old 5D that will be getting a new Hammer and pylon light if I decide to keep it.   Never used in anger, test fired only once.  Is it time to be looking at a Vito?

Time for an upgrade.

Agreed, I will probably go the GFlex route.

I had to replace my strut a few years back (80's era Cal).  I got VERY lucky in being able to contact the original contractor who still had the molds and cast me a new strut.

EYC did think so.  Any issue here is with EYC, not Read.  Rule 2?  Please.  Everyone in that class used their shorthanded rating.
