True Speed Shop Catalogues ...

[John Brown]

I used to get non punched catalogs from lots of speed parts suppliers. Since I had years of experience in hard parts sales, it just honked me off not being able to put a catalog in a rack. Luckily, I was able to make hole punches out of 3/8 fuel lines, using a punch to flare the cut off tubing, then running a grinding wheel against the side of the flared edge to create a sharpened punch. I could get the job done, but I still gave many speed parts sales reps my opinion on non punched catalogs and finally many manufacturers realized a punched catalog would work everywhere that non punched ones wouldn't.
