you forgot the twelve pack, torch, 24 pack, anda hammer so when you get pizzed off you can beat the hell out of something. jr marine has a kit i think with seals, pin, etc.

Got a couple of torches and a 12-pack. That should get me started.

I had the gimble ring cleaned-up, boxed and ready to ship. Called JR Marine to confirm the shipping info and got the message that they are closed till mid March.I may have to wait for them to re-open to get my gimble ring fixed, but with the weather being nice, I would like to proceed with what I can do while awaiting the gimbles.
