| Subject: | November List Fund Raiser |
There is an automatic "squelch button" of sorts for the Fund Raiser messages.
Here's how it works... As soon as a List member makes a Contribution through
the Matronics Fund Raiser web site, they will instantly cease to receive these
Fund Raiser messages for the rest of the month! Its just that simple.
I really do appreciate each and every one of your individual Contributions to support
the Lists. It is your support that enables me to upgrade the hardware
and software that are required to run a List Site such as this one. It also goes
to pay for the commercial-grade Internet connection and to pay the huge electric
bill to keep the computer gear running and the air conditioner powered
on. I run all of the Matronics Email List and Forums sites here locally which
allows me to control and monitor every aspect of the system for the utmost in
reliably and performance.
Your personal Contribution matters because, when combined with other Listers such
as yourself, it pays the bills to keep this site up and running. I accept
exactly ZERO advertising dollars for the Matronics Lists sites. I can't stand
the pop-up ads and all other commercials that are so prevalent on the Internet
these days and I particularly don't want to have it on my Email List sites.
If you appreciate the ad-free, grass-roots, down-home feel of the Matronics Email
Lists, please make a Contribution to keep it that way!!

Dave,
I would be interested in the vendor contact info that you got these for under $200
for all. The best I've found is about $150 each.
Thanks,
bob

Yep. Mine was bundled in a bag with the lumbar inserts. Each seat should
be made up of 4 pieces. I wonder if you are missing the lumbar supports
too?

The vendor is California Push-Pull in Chico, CA. Talk to Frank.
http://www.push-pull.com/
I'm out of the shop today but I'll get you the specific PNs when I get
back. Frank might have them on file. It's the black-sheathed, high
temp cable.

| Subject: | O2 / Headset Connections |
Hi
I read in a recent post about plumbing heatset / O2 connectons into an
overhead consol. I still have this option but would like some real world
insight before I make the plunge. Has anyone done this yet? Where seems to
be the best location for the connecions? Is it much of a distraction for the
rear seat passengers?
Inquiring minds need to know

I know you Canadians have some of the most innovative ways to keep
warm, but plug-in heat sets? Rear seat pax will be distracted if you
are warm and they are cold. ;-)
How much do you want hanging off the ceiling? You will already have
shoulder belts. Headset wires and O2 hoses as well? Everyone has
differing missions. I don't expect to carry backseat pax and go to O2
altitudes. My only debate is where to put front seat jacks to keep
them out of way of seat belts, stick, etc. O2 will likely be on tunnel
between rear seats so I can reach valves on cylinder.

Les, I plumbed the O2 connections (distribution block) into the overhead
console:
http://deemsrv10.com/album/Sec%20The%20Home%20Stretch/slides/DSC06124.html
(click forward for 5 pics).
The position is such that for the pilot and copilot the O2 is behind the
heads and out of the way, with easy access to control. For the rear
seaters its an easy access, but does cause some plumbing to hang in
front of them. It was a trade-off, easy installation by having a single
distribution point, versus convienience and aesthetics, by placing each
O2 in their armrest/panel. I can say that in 2 years and 200+ hours,
I've not needed or used O2 for rearseaters.
WRT the headphones, I wouldn't even consider putting them in the
overhead console.

| Subject: | Oil Analysis kit info |
A while back I did a write-up with an oil change where I
listed my contact info for where I got my oil analysis
test kits. At the time I got them from Shell Labs, and
it was the best deal I could find...$70 for 10, or,
$85/10 which includes prepaid postage. I did the latter.
Last week a couple things happened. 1) I used up my
first 10 test kits. 2) Some "polaris labs" called to
get my contact info, telling me that they were now
the Shell subcontracted lab. I found out that my old
lab was now not being used by Shellcare. So, I started
shopping again for a new oil analysis provider. Most
prices ran $12 to $24 per sample....many are available
for around $14 per sample.
In the end though, I contacted the original company
that shell used.
http://www.analystsinc.com/
They just sold me another 10 test kits for $85 with
prepaid postage, so I'm set for a while again. I have
to sign a form authorizing them my old historical info
from Shell, but from that point on it's the same
test lab so the sampling and reporting will be identical.
The person I talked to was
Katie
847-305-9955
I thought I'd pass it on because oil analysis is a great
thing for long term trending, but it's expensive if you
don't find a good deal, and I think this was a pretty good
deal compared to what others cost.
