Same here.
I had asked him for help with the installation of a heavy automatic Hirschmann 6000U antenna, specifically how to mount it at the desired 22º angle in my early 230SL that never had one and thus no mounting holes or other visual clues.
Well, about 2 months ago a package arrived, not only with a bracket, but also a guide where to drill the two holes for it and a spacer with the desired 22º angle that he had fabricated. I couldn't even reimburse him for the postage. Thank you again Pat for your generosity.

One more - Pat identified a stripped screw on my soft top (from a picture) and went on to send me one, gratis.
Maybe a little thing, but nowadays proactive generosity is unusual.
Thanks, Pat!

So I just got back from Pats. Again he gave me a bunch of sought after parts that I can use that he could have easily sold on our site.  In two minutes he was able to take my gas cap apart so I can chrome it. Something that I could never figure out. got to ride in his  Beautiful Pagoda that he just finished and of course loads of good advice on finishing mine.

I may start thinking of him on Saint Patrick’s day! Ok that’s a bit corny but I hope you get the point.
