CDI with UPS and Oratex Ordered

[ksatter26]

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.

Excellent news.

Looking forward to seeing pictures and hearing of the progress.

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!
