[C320-list] Genoa Foot Blocks

[Denny Browne]

Well, I talked to Guido on Monday. They didn't have them in stock, so they had to build them, and they we're still waiting for me when I got home on Wednesday! Had to use an impact driver to get the screws out of the deck. How'd you get the silicone sealer off the deck? That part's gonna be a mess. 

Thanks,
