Parts Ordering

[Tom Droege <tdroege@veriomail.com>]

I just ordered the parts needed to update the design through CHRIS/NICK.  I 
ordered enough update parts for 6 more systems.  This includes side plates 
for some of the people that I have talked to as 
"possible"locations.   Looks like it is a good time to order machined parts 
as my shop sounds hungry.

Arne, I will want to update your RA drive.  Sooner or later you will kill 
it and it will need to be repaired.  No sense in worrying about it until 
the new parts get here.  I also ordered you 1/4" side plates.  They can be 
used on ARNE2 if you decide that they are not really needed.  If you are 
worried about wobble, another thing to do would be to glue the cross pieces 
to the side plate with something like JB Weld.  This will help remove the 
wobble from the screw joints, and will do almost as much good as welding 
(my opinion) and can be removed with a sharp hammer blow if you really need 
to take it apart.

Since the shop is not busy, I will work on an order for all the other parts 
to complete 12 systems.
