I am busy now making jigs for the gear legs. The cabane and spring strut jigs are done. I will let you know when they will be available. My guess, 4 or 5 weeks with all the honey dos etc around here.

I found it new on E-Bay at some radiator supply house reducing slow moving inventory for $25 or so. I made a mounting frame from aluminum angle pop r iveted together and got a 12 volt 6" computer fan at Radio shack for $19 or there abouts. Should work. Darin Hawkes said he has all the heat he can us e on his heater. Hey Darin what is the routing on your heater set up?
