Les,

I do not need anymore black wheels for my 505, because I just got the second half of them already; here they are installed up front. But please do continue looking for the remaining parts I listed as wanted for both my 505 and 515.

Take a pic of underside of the headlight. I'll check to make sure it matches up. Then take a pic of the bottom mainly how the safety cable is ran and if you have brackets.
