The sept. 9-10 would be fine with me. I don't like the kits for the shrouds and the fact that last time I checked they don't carry the dumas props. For anyone interested in the MJ1200 mods the 1.75 Dumas is the king flow wise.
Even if I was ordering props and shaft for the whole club it still won't cost much I can swing it.
The afternoon of the 10th would be the best. say 1:00pm? Who all is interested? like I said in earlier post, I can handle 5-6 at the most. Have counter space to lay up as many as needed. if there is a bigger turnout, we would need to seek anotehr alternative.
I just ordered a kit to se how the pipe is cut and am planning on fabricating the housing units for anyone that would want. It doens't seem too bad for a few rips on the table saw. But we would need the rest of the parts. can you organize that covey once we see what type of demand we will be having?
Please post a confirmation if positively wanting to come on the afternoon of the 10th. I am located in NW Davenport.

Thanks,

Like I said it is buried in the main thread I think the guys that came up with it was Qtram something like that. There was also a separate thread "Advanced stoppers for the MJ mod" .
Anyway it is pretty simple I can make it. Its just a matter of finding the right pieces.
Once we get a solid head count I can just order the props and shafts for everyone and you can pay me back at the mod party.
Hey board members do we want to make this an official club event and make it bigger or should we just keep it as is?

If some one could search for this it would be cool
"Advanced stoppers for the MJ mod"
I was looking for the thread and couldn't find it.
Also Billy what hardware store did you get that spacer from that you used on the other mod?
I would like to put one of the new style stoppers together ahead of time so I can show everyone else how to do it and have the part for it ahead of time.

Where would the cheapest place be to order MJ 1200?
Also, Covey, are you gathering parts I could buy from you. Or should I gather them up myself? Any parts that would be not available locally that it would be smart to order just in case?
TIA,
Kevin

Are there any spots open still for the mod party? I'd still like to order stuff to do two mods with the rest of the group if possible. Could somebody recommend which MJ (400, 600, 900, or 1200) I should do the mods on for a 75 gallon tank?
I have a couple of extra MJ1200s that I will sell for $10 each (or trade for something), I could bring them to the mod party.
Thanks!

Looks like there are four of us so far and anna would be five. We could get another one or two squeezed in, or just open the door. People I have down:

I am still looking for the gray sch80 parts, but will still need the endcaps for a center, as well as the rod and props. How many mods are we looking at completing? Please give a number so we can get enough parts. I am planning on making the housing units.
Also anna, I will make you a deal on the 1200's. I just bought a couple 900's but would like more umph.

Gray sch80 is at lowes in the plumbing section off to the side.
Everyone else and Kevin I will just go a ahead and order the props and shaft and possible some endcaps for everyone ahead of time so we all don't have to pay seperate shipping.
Once we know:
Who is coming.
What MJ there moding
How many there moding
and if anyone wants backup props(a good idea)
We can get a hard count and I will order everything.
I was planning on building the housing at the party but if anyone just wants the full kit we could order those too.
The cheapest place for MJ is usally.

I am planning on ordering some stuff from PA in a week or so. So you might be able to add on some MJs to my order.
We have a certain amount of leeway as I made all of mine with local parts but if all tired to buy local i don't think we would have enough props to go around.
So what are you moding folks?
Me two of the MJ400
