Paul,

    The photo of the Scott-Speirer-Ross-Bell_Sun thrust bearing modification
looks like it would be the right approach for my Ross drive.  Do you have
the phone number of the machinist/contact who I might chat with about
modifying my Ross for a Thrust Bearing. I looked at the web page under PSRU
but could not find that info.

By the way, I have about 80% of the code written for a PIC Fuel Monitor
Meter.  All the parts are there, now I just need to integrate them and test
the integrated system {:>).  Some really interesting capability of the PIC
by microchip with the CCP modules (Capture, Compare, PW Generate) as well as
their built in A/D module.  Makes it really easy to continually monitor a
Pulse train and capture the portion you are interested in or compare it to a
set parameter or to generate your own pulse train.  Still a lot to learn,
but about ready to start playing with an actually chip.  The difficulty is
it appears so easy to add many additional features into the SW that it is
hard to resist the temptation. Like have a switch position where you could
present the  air/fuel ratio on a LED/LDC as a numeric display  rather than
just an LED Bargraph indication. Sigh so many thing to do and so little time
{:>).

So whereabouts are you and Robin going downunder this time?  NZ?

Thanks

Ed Anderson

Well I think our extensive travel plans are off for awhile. Both Robin and I signed
up for college courses this semester. Mine I get to use a $65K stereo lithography
machine... almost for free thanks to the CA tax payer :-)
