More bits have arrived!!!

Simon A · 27th April 2005, 10:47

For those who dont know, I'm in the process of putting together a homebuild...
After a very long wait I've finaly managed to get the KISS valve (Kim said it would be a while!, but they didnt charge the card until it was ready for shipping).
Also for some reason I didnt get charged VAT or import duty on $350 worth of bits!

Beanie,
Cheers for that.
Have you got a hose tool? if not you'll find it almost impossible to get apart.

Zak,
I'm not reinventing the wheel, It's Inspiration counterlungs (had to buy them new, ouch that was expensive!), draeger DSV (may be replaced with AP's CC/OC switchable DSV if/when it becomes available), Kiss valve, Kiss style PPO2 monitoring, and a scrubber either from rebreathers Australia, or a copy of Duncans scrubber on the D5. All held together somehow... (I may just cheat and buy an Inspiration case!)

Did it come by Fedex?

I did the same, bought about £300 of stuff and it turned up with no charges. Then about a month after an invoice plopped through the door for about £100

Fedex bill you later rather than there and then like Parcelforce or UPS.
