[QUOTE="vinito, post: 97655, member: 12954"] Yea, that collection of hoses seemed fine for the money when I placed my order, but it sure fit in a smaller box than I pictured. But they were all there and all correct. OK the whole thing is together including the previously broken fittings...wait a minute, what did I just say?? holy crap the beast is assembled!! I can't figure out a good way to safely prime the lines by myself as I at least need another pair of eyes and hands to do it I think. Truth is I'm wiped out for today and though I'm sure I could pull it off somehow, I'm too sore and stiff to want to go through with it tonight. I'll have help tomorrow. So a flicker show is a' comin'. Please just be patient with me for one more day. Of course I'm chomping at the bit to drive this thing around, but that tells you how beat up I feel tonight. It's been a long day. Fortunately just the last couple hours of it are because of the machine. This working for a living thing is starting to cut into my fun time. In the meantime, for your perusing pleasure I offer this little photo of the battery terminal caps I drew up and 3D printed yesterday...
