Any inmates in the PNW willing to "share" their timing tools, maybe cold adult beverage payment or?
I'm looking to check my Old Blue's timing.

OR
I have the BluePoint timing adapter, and a timing light. No idea how to use them but you're welcome to try. Wish I had a DTT, but the one I was going to purchase fell through.

I'm kind of curious how this worked out.

Floattubr being new here, wouldn't necessarily know this, but
it's 'traditional' for the requestor, to travel to where the tools are, and for the tool owner to do the work.

In this case, I would assume Floattubr would travel to Nero, bringing his own timing light. And Nero having not used the tools yet, they would work out who does what, at Nero's place.


On a personal note, if I had the tools, I wouldn't be willing to pack them up and send them off to someone I don't know. In hopes of getting them back at all, let alone, not broken or altered.

To me, asking to borrow someone's tools long distance is kind of like asking to borrow the wife, if you know what I mean... LOL

Why would you leave a deposit if the tools never leave the owner's possession?

My truck is 45 miles north and just getting road worthy again....not quite there yet
If it works out it's just meant to be, if not, then He must has another plan for me.

I don't know about that. I've met a few people who would have been happy to have one of those gone for a little while. and I don't think they'd let their tools out of sight LOL
