Off topic here, but is the 'Enter' key on your keyboard not working ?
Right Cd,with today's technology a "virtual" part could be created within CAD,then CAM could actually create the prototype part.------------------Short of all the gee-whiz gadgetry to make that happen,what I posted is definitely low-tech,although has been the mainstay of manufacturing design for most of recorded history.------------------ Since it doesn't involve Chrysler's Technology Center or anything like it,is is within the domain of any individual wishing to cobble up something for testing or permanent modification.--------------------- With respect to posting,I'll apologize for the umpteenth time.I've never had typing class,never learned a word-processing program.I don't create documents and then export them anywhere.When I get here to the copy center,it's just balls to the wall hunt and peck 'til the clock runs out.------------------ These series of dashes are an attempt to do paragraph breaks so the whole post isn't one single smear.I know it's lacking in presentation,my only hope is that it delivers some useful content.
