From what I can find, the original ad did not have your location in the ad….

This is the message you "should" have gotten, but we are finding that the message that we as admins are sending to you folks…are just plain not being sent by the system. I see your ad is identicval except for the part where you list your location, he may have missed that, if he did I am sorry, can you resubmit, and I will approve promptly.

Looking for a NOS cover 302549. This is the middle plate in the exhaust cooling. It is between the outer cover and the block. Same part in most 1950s RDs.

Olcah, your location was not included in your ad or anywhere else so it was disapproved. That’s why. Here’s a copy of your original ad including an explanation which was sent and you should have received it. As stated, the system isn’t always working 100% so the notice along with the reason may not have been received by you but check your notifications anyway.

Just another reminder everyone but be sure to read and follow the Classified Ad Requirements to a T before posting an ad or it may be disapproved. Here’s a link to them for your viewing pleasure:

I was aware of the requirement for location but may not have included it. For sure I did not receive the reason for the disapproval.
