Where to get 'em ? Nate > They're called "Rare Earth / Neodymium Magnets". I get them at the hardware store down the street. I'm sure Home Depot and the like carry them. Go to Amazon.com and search for "Rare Earth Magnet", you'll see what they look like. They are tremendously powerful. I use them in all kinds of projects to hold things in place. Got an old glove compartment door that needs help sticking? A TV mounting arm that won't stay put against the wall? Great toolboard mounting magnet? A zillion other things that only occur to you once you've played with these things? I love cool tools and materials that solve problems. ...chico [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Ole Chevy and GMC trucks rule!

With the addition of a Sonicare toothbrush rare earth magnet to suck iron filings out of your universal joint, your Advanced Design (or whatever) truck will be downright Sputnik!
