LOL...I didn't typo "method"...

Once again, for everyone worried about trying to get the cap off...get underneath, reach up and position a 19mm open wrench in a way that you can tap the end with a small hammer while holding the wrench against the cap to avoid slipping...from down under, tap the wrench "CLOCK WISE"...a few good taps and it's loose...
I tried that Sid, but it was just too tight for me to swing the hammer successfully. It was easier for me to go thru the fender with a long breaker bar - that was a piece of cake.

Different approaches for different people. All I know is that it is CRAMPED in there.

It's been good enough feedback to start ordering a whole new batch of everything, including packing it's like 20 different items, some are long lead time some are quick.

I wonder how many I should try to build?

If I can swing it, I will try for 200.

I do have to stop selling on ebay, they literally get half of the profit, and shipping through them is also stupid, I have to pay 8-17$ just to print the shipping label:angry:

I'm working on the MBS website, it's slow process, I'd rather be in the shop putting something together.

I really want to thank everybody, without you guys and your positive comments and support, none of this would be here, no dipsticks or 960 pages in a topic.:LOL:
Wouldn't it be easier to become a sponsor here and on other specific forums to sell your dipsticks.
If you branch out into F-150's or other Ford models, I would imagine each has their own site's with sponsors, leading to sales.
Personally, I hate going thru e-bay....would much rather deal directly with the manufacturer/owner.

Retired, work is a four letter word.
The goal is to have the website, then I can put a link anywhere.

eBay is convenient, but expensive.
You can say that again, just sold 8 16 channel light controllers, dang eBay fees are like getting robbed without the gun, don't think I will be doing that again, 14%....Really!

Tell me about it, I used to sell oddball computer hardware there, I just looked at what some pieces are selling for that I'd like to get rid of. Under $20, it isn't worth my time. In the trash they go.

This entire thing was a scheme for Mike to learn all our real names and addresses. Weird this happened after someone else vanished. Might even have trackers on the tube....

Isn’t there a school system nearby that you can donate them too? Local recycling center (goodwill type of business but everything donated stays in the community unlike goodwill)

Fitz,
If it helps, I am willing to send you a friends and family PayPal transfer. That way you get whatever the full amount is.
Just let me know. ???

Ehh, maybe, but these are old school PCI tuner cards and various working and non-working motherboards. I just don't have the time these days. If I find something that is a gem in the rough I'll do something different with it, but for right now, things need to go, and go fast.

Ha, Ha, I thought" I dont want those guys knowing my name and address" damit, oh well, if I want to sell something I gotta put it out there. It certinally was a scheme though, it was to prove that "sounds like simple CAD exercise" were the words of a madman, and I was out to prove it, I'd like to buy that madman a beer!!

Who vanished, uh, is that a dumb question?

Ebay turned out to be the sour apple in this deal, it's so bad I dont want to crunch the numbers, it's a shame, it used to great.

I know a lot of small businesses are using Shopify these days. No idea how they compare on transaction fees but I would have to think they are better than eBay?
