Sammy, thats some pro- picking nutting giong on here (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif) . Honestly, i re-read my posts and i apologize if i came across rude. I need to use more (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) in my posts, cause i'm staight to the point, but not worked up about it either.

To your point about filling the chassis with air or nitrogen, i agree. (but you wouldn't want to fill it with air anyways because of possible corrosion properties. Purging it with the inert gas is a very good idea, and helium makes a great candidate. Hey, hydrogen's even lighter! To bad Porsche didn't work on the Hindinburg, they'd saved some lives with logic.
