   I understood everything you said which is logical and sensible that the flat   
   rate will vary but if it's the best we can do then it's the best we can do.   
      
   The current guide is for pros and is many hundreds of dollars in cost.

   The cars I work on are all older so an older out of date guide is ok.   
   Plus I only need a lookup a couple of times a year at most.   
      
   Anyone know of an old PDF for the Chilton flat rate reference lookup online?
