I had ran across it in the plans and can=92t remember where they are. I thi= nk I should be able to get the needed supplies at Lowes.

Also Looking for recommendations on a floor jack for the ES. =A0It seems th= at many of the automotive ones are too big or cumbersome to get under the m= ain wheels. =A0I don=92t know about jacking the nose up? =A0How is that don= e. =A0I was told you can lift from under the firewall.

Lastly, is there an affordable motorized tow bar that works with the nose w= heel fairing for the ES.

Thanks all.
