[SCG] Accessory code update

[Mark Corbin]

Kent and all,

Item 1: The wording in the article just struck me to mean that the "O"
would not be there since the paint code would be redundant with it. May be
just the way I read it, it seemed like that.....

Item 2: The code on my Texas car reads: EO2D5Y, designating full tint,
tutone, air, and deluxe belts. The code on my project car reads: E2DMU4F5J,
designating full tint, air, auto, tape player, RC mirror, and deluxe center
belt. Combined with the code on Loftin's 500 w/deluxe sholder belts, then
we can conclude that a center belt code WOULD supercede deluxe belts, but
the sholder belts' code wouldn't. (I did't have Bill's code handy.)

-Mark
