Ernest, I'm not looking to duplicate either completely. Rather having the details of what they made work and what would work better for the average builder is where I'm looking to go. Having all the cards on the table and the ability to pick and choose what we think is the best setup for everyone is as good as it gets in problem solving or product improvements.
Thanks also to Kelly for all the intel and pictures. I'll be in touch in regards to parts etc..Btw, Kelly where are you located?
Great to be starting down this road finally.. it's been a long time coming !
