I looked and looked for stainless steel "Brillo" pads. I could only 
find them at one place in the world. A pittsburgh, PA based company 
that will only sell online. The problem is that they only sell in $100 
increments. I had to buy 8 dozen. They come in 2 sizes. I think for our 
purposes that either size is satisfactory.

I didn't want to use copper pads because of the following quote:

You can see and or order these pads in $100 increments at:

    http://www.keysan.com/ksufl16a.htm#PAD099956897223

The pads are part#  PAD35 and PAD50

I am using 2 of the sponges to rap around my exhaust inside of the heat 
shroud. I am trying to pick up as much heat as I can for my cabin and 
carburetor.

I would like to sell the rest of the pads in 12 packs. The price of the 
12 pack will be $20 + $10(FedEx) = $30. Of the 12, 8 will be PAD35s and 
4 will be PAD50s. I don't think that you will need more than 2 of 
either one of the pads. I just don't want to ship out 1 at a time. If 
you want to sent me your FedEx or UPS account number, you can pay for 
the shipping. I take cash, checks, MOs, MC, Visa and Discover. Send 
your address and charge card number with the order and I will mail the 
same day or the next.

Bill, you pads are in the mail.
