OK, last night we decided on IPOR in Fredericksburg as the location for the hands-on follow-up session. I believe Ed will post this info up at the top of the thread.

Cam also proposed that, in addition to installing our creations from Day 1, the "wired" SKREWBALL will show us the ins and outs of dual battery solutions.

Ed,
Is this a good deal?

Any one want to guess what it cost to do a dual battery set up ? I don't know just asking.

 

[Jakes40]

I think it depends on which set up you go with. $150 minus the batteries?

Just guessing myself.

[Thornton]

Go for it Steve. One for each

Hey Tom is back, where ya been ?

Probably reserving his strength for getting those axles out from under the 62 in the morning.

First post updated to include IPOR as the location for part 2. I also added a list for the parts order. Please check to make sure the list is correct.

Thanks Chris,
Sounds like just the kind of stuff we will need. Bring whatever you can. I am sure the parts will find a good home.

Without doing any research, this sounds a little expensive to me. If you want to check out the variety and cost of heat shrink tubing, start here: Heat Shrink Tubing | Digi-Key

There are 3370 items to check out.

It is best if you can buy one size in a larger quantity. I just bought some 4' long pieces for the class for $1 each

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

I will be in attendance for at least day 1, in case you need RSVPs for the library. My slee light harness should be here today/tomorrow, so I will be watching/learning but no parts needed. Although I am interested in the 'boosting of the [wiper] juice'

slee was out of stock on the HIR bulbs (that don't require the trimming ?) I didn't know IPOR had any, I missed it on their website, so I sourced from another vendor (but they do require triming)

see you then.

 

[emorth]

Heads up. I will be ordering parts on 2/20.

So far, I am ordering parts for:

* StaleAle
* Blue77FJ40
* VonHayek
* SAS
* mcgarrett91
* TRFCSUX

Please let me know if there are any additions before the 20th.

Thanks,
Ed

Not a problem. We will do as much as we can do and fill in the rest later.
