So I am back at it again... the future Ms. is out shopping for wedding dresses... so I figured it was as good a day as any to blow the dust off this never ending project and see if I can make some progress! There has been some other day projects here and there since my last post. So i will first sta...

Found another "if money wasn't an issue" screen that is exacly what we would WANT to use... but out of just about everyones budget! The VT121CHB2 from VarTech Systems. VT121CHB2-med.jpg http://www.vartechsystems.com/techsheets/VT121CHB2tech.html This guy has all the right specs for outdoor...

I tried to mix with what I already have, but I'm not sure if what I did is right. I am going to guess you have a pot or something connected to A0 to control speed?

I've not seen anything that thick... but someone did one suggest that i keep an eye out when driving around down.

Oh! I like that! That little top compartment works GREAT for protecting the socket when not connected! Very clever!

Just a random thought on durability... Will M2 screws/thread be durable enough to withstand repeated tightening and removing of the bolts? With the square concept every bolt really is important to ensure an even compression and effective seal... one worn screw could compromise a segment... just my 2...

Hey Jaman, Have a look at this thread. HERE. This is the same method I am using to connect my B.R. T100's. The bullet connectors provide a electrical connection that penetrates the hull, without letting water in (assuming you are careful mounting and potting all the female halves!) Works like a char...
