Stongard source?

[Kenneth Keith]

The eurolights I have for my other 200q20v have the correct Stongard on them
without the DOT dot holes, which I installed, and there wasn't much of an
unprotected edge to it.  If so, that would have bothered me at the time and
I would have made a bit deal about it. =)  So, I must have gotten a later
set, after perhaps your feedback, Phil.
