Anyone got a couple of strips of 3-4mm HDPE around 600mm long and about 50mm wide? Or polypropelene? One of my polycarb self-righting hoops snapped when I tested it (too brittle and probably overbent) so Id be looking for something less brittle to replace it but dont have anything lying around. Anyone able to help at all?

Ill be leaving in an hour or so, so wont be able to check the forum after that, so if anyone can help then just come and find me at the event.

Cheers,
Jamie

Indeed no Tony Booth and no Tony Fowler either unfortunately.

Hannibalito 3 only got a new flipperarm because the old one bent, the rest is still the same as before. 12.4kg with gas.

Shane, I cant lose that starting fight.

Jamie, Im cutting your pieces of 4mm HDPE. They wont be pretty, but will work.

Mario, Jamie is on his way now so he wont see your message. I will be meeting him later today so ill let him know - Thankyou

[maddox]

No problem
I hope he likes white HDPE with dirt on it.

i hope he has a nice long trip down lol

when are you leaving mario and how long will it be taking you?

[maddox]

We leave, probably at 4 30 am tomorrow morning....
But first, adding 15mm of HDPE to H IIIs armor. See how Prodigy Evo digests that.

i hate long driving trips lol

ye you have the unlucky heat with 2 spinners - if you flip one out tho as you prob will easily with ur flipper lol then your through

think you will go through that heat and then depends which spinner survives lol

you got any spare sidewinders? cant be having one break like last time! :sad:

[psycho_fling]

Adrian can you remember to bring the rx for us please, not doubting you but i like to be sure

[maddox]

Little John, we have 2 spare sidewinders. Those are standard part of our electronics box.

Also thinking of taking my TIG welder along, together with Stainless steel and Titanium welding rods.
HDPE welder and spare pieces HDPE will be in the van.
