Hopefully we can work out the logistics of our co-op without cluttering up the discussion thread for Scubabatdan's co-op, since most of our discussion would be inappropriate there...

Is there any way we can get someone to reopen our first thread for one last post to link to this one?
I found it too, followed two links to get here but this is much better than merging the co-ops.
"If you make it, they will come...."

Hopefully it won't be too difficult, even without a direct link from the classies thread.
Actually, anyone that can't find it probably wouldn't be able to put the kit together anyway...

Lol that's funny!
And now we're linked from the original co-op thread, so it can't get any easier to find 
So, what are the current hurtles with the parts. Last I read we had issues with the tubing (I think that might have been resolved) and the springs.
Possible replacement

I didnt realize that Dan's specs used 58lb/in springs. I didn't know they rated that high for such a small spring.

I wonder if we can use something like this and just slide the kanthanol in between the coils and loose the nails and washers altogether... Hmmm, maybe I will do a little modding of my own when my kit gets here.

If I'm remembering rightly, the tubing was available from McMaster-Carr and has already been added to the order shipping from them, and the springs are the current problem. The only thing close in size (found anywhere in current stock) are 26lb springs and the originals that were sourced are actually out of stock for 4 or 5 weeks.
It was only yesterday, but I work third shift. It's already three hours past my bed time so my thinker-thingy is not quite up to par. Gotta pick up the daughter from daycare in a couple hours, so I probably should get some sleep. I'll catch up this evening...

I used some tel-com push connectors instead of springs when toying with the Genisis. I plan on using them for this mod too. There is pics and info on them here:

They are cheap, maybe we could do these while waiting for the springs to come in.

Any chance it might be easier to find the right diameter springs if length wasn't a problem? I'm sure we can all snip the right size off a longer spring. Also if we just use the spring itself to hold the Kanthal then we don't necessarily need a compression spring - we'd just need a spring with the right ID and OD.
The only part left to get is the springs. I can't seem to find them. Or I have found them, but don't realize they will work. I'll call my local grainger tomorrow to ask them about it
The Poly tube just arrived. I don't have time to open or play with it however because I have to go fix a broken cell site.
I think I have the springs resolved. Just waiting on a confirmation email back. It's the same spring, just 3 coils longer. Take a pair of wire cutters to it and voila. I will post a confirmation of this as soon as I hear back. This is the last part needed for the coop. As long as this happens, we are rockin and rollin.
Just wanted to say it again BIG THANKS for everything it is very much appreciated..... If you make it to CT drinks are on me lol.....
