Things are tight here.
Cash flow, actually the lack of it.
I'm working hard on a remedy but things take time.
You have this dream and the passion far outweighs logical thinking.
So many things to do and every minute counts.
In this situation I can do little bits here and there but I like to get one section done at a time and that's not happening.
Prayer!!! "The breakfast of champions".
There's this dumb strike on here but I'm still trying to find material so I call a company not to far away looking for 1" tubing I can use for making up my steering shaft and tandem components.
The stuff I had was junk. Trying to turn the 25,4mm "round" had the cutter only taking material away from an area 180* telling me the round tube was actually oval.
The guy I spoke to said he had some very nice heavy wall 1" that he imports from Germany. Peter asked what my application was, how much I needed and suggested a particular grade.
He did ask that I wait for the strike to be over before visiting due to the strikers' violent behavior and took my number.
I get a call yesterday and its Peter. He says the strike is over and wants my address as he's in the area.
He pulls into the yard in a Land Rover Discovery and on the roof rack are lengths of tubing.
He says he's got tons of material and the 20ft is a gift. He checked out the liner and saw the 38mm tubing. He says "you don't buy material anymore, we'll supply what you need to finish the project".
I thanked him and offered to put company decals on the car when finished. I asked why he'd done this?. He says he just had a feeling I needed help.
Mike Banks from Krause & Naimer also arrived yesterday with the fancy switching system for the kill switches. He gave me the technical run down on how it all works and agreed that when the time came he'd wire the system. He brought a bunch of momentary switches in all colors too and they're pretty big at 22mm, maybe too big but said I could keep them until he brought more smaller on/off and momentary versions. All made in Austria and top quality. No Peoples Republic iffy stuff.
By the time I'm done I should have a fair idea on how electrics work.
