Totally get where you're coming from, Mike...jokes aside, we all appreciate you taking on this project with such diligence and professionalism...we support your effort and keep up the great work! Take your time...Ah you s#!t head, you beat me to it, I come on to give a update and I find you spilling your popcorn while stirring the pot.
I am up to the 8th and final drawing revision, finally.
Ha, I seem to remember.......
Brother, I wish, whew, I went down this rabbit hole with a jet pack strapped to my ass, but I think in the end it's a decent result, hopefully some people here are about to find out in a few weeks.
I got local quotes and international, no wonder people have China make stuff, there is a $29 difference each for the brackets between USA and China, and that's without chamfers, isn't that great, I was hoping to source mostly U.S. stuff, I have one last guy to try here (CNC in his garage) after that it's overseas.
I have to add, one part, not 60, just one test part, made here over $250, ouch, not sure on that one, gamble the aluminum ones will fit just like the plastic printed ones? and order 60 of them? they are from the same file, this is where it gets bonkers, I will have to sell a lot of dipsticks to ever come clear of the cost to get here.
Anyways, Ive been running one on the truck for quite a few miles, still haven't seen any heat show up on the temp test strip, but it's been cool here, I need a 106 degree day.
I should add.... no disrespect intended to the popcorn spilling individual, just sarcasm
