I ran into a similar issue with an old Craftsman W/D vac a few
years ago. My local Sears didn't carry my filters in-store and I
needed one that weekend. They had a few filters from another model
on their clearance rack, but they were bigger than the ones for my
model (more surface area is a good thing, right?) However, they
were really cheap, like all 3 for less than the price of 1 of mine.


I bought all three, then went home and cut off the plastic threaded
rod that the original filter screwed onto and screwed in a long
piece of 1/4" threaded rod that I had in the shop. A few more minor
modifications and the new filters fit just right. I used 2.5 of the
3 filters before my vac died so I definitely got my money (and
efforts) worth out of the modification.


So DD, why is you can make a weird part fit yer shop vac, but cannot
make yer articles wrap, like above?

Blame my corp servers for blocking newsreaders leading me to use GG.

My typing wraps in the input box in my browser (Chrome) but I guess it doesn't post that way.

BTW...I haven't heard that complaint from others. Do you all see it that way?

I'll also respond via IE and see if there is any difference.
