Chris said that the replacement-replacement 303 CDI went out on a UPS truck ("Package Car" according to my UPS-driver brother) yesterday (Tuesday, September 11th ... I picked up up my F3 kit in Truman on September 22nd last year).
Chris also told me that I could place my Oratex order directly with Janina in Anchorage and that he'd reimburse me my covering deposit. I just got off the phone with Janina and she said that I should receive my materials in 2-3 weeks. She went over the order carefully and discussed how to store the adhesive. It has a working shelf-life of 2-3 months and with proper temperature and container sealing it should last a year.
I hope to get back on the 303 re-build by the end of the week and, with luck, should be reporting engine startup very soon.
Pictures to follow ... fingers crossed.

Re: CDI with UPS and Oratex Ordered
I have my fingers tightly crossed that the new part gets your engine running. I am looking forward to more progress posts as well. I think Todd and I are living vicariously through you for the moment!
