Yes, your electrical rebuild shop should be able to make a higher amperage unit for you (which is a good idea) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
I found it goes a lot quicker if you have another person (who knows what the job entails) doing the top-side stuff while you're under the car doing the bottom stuff (or vice-versa) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) |

I'll pick you up from the airport when you fly into Boise, Idaho! What time do you arrive?

I hope to get some time to work on it in a couple days. Brad |
