Maybe, just Maybe we can do a Tech Seminar in Canada.

If Rich will help and I don't run out of $$ first, I will TRY real hard to do a Tech Seminar for all my Canadian Friends.

Dicktator
OK, I will start planning a Tech Day in Canada.

Have over 34 Power Points on all kind of subjects pertaining to the SSR.

Cam - you can add "Toes" Bill Tedford (newbie this month) and "Trout" Barry Pattison to your list for July 17-20.. No Room at the Calabogie Peaks but we did manage to snag a motel efficiency (last one) at Jockos Beach resort which is 5 min away from the Peaks Resort.. I'm from Pointe Au Baril (north of Parry Sound) and Trout has a cottage in Kearney near Huntsville. Dicktator has been to Trouts place last summer.. We're looking forward to the meet..
Cam, LOOK OUT for these two guys!!

They are real Fanatics!!

I know, been there, done that!

Looking forward to my trip to Canada, as I always do.

Dicktator

I will have a NEW Power Point on "Hydraulic Roof Cylinder Removal".

This is an upcoming issue with our SSR.

Roof was designed to be used, UP/DOWN twice a day for 365 days a year, for TEN years.

We are at TEN years!

My conversations with Klaus, Top Hydraulics, Inc. says that even if we do not use the roof the cylinder seals will deteriorate.

You can not buy new cylinders!

Top Hydraulics Inc. in Oregon, rebuilds cylinders, pumps and has hydraulic hose and fittings. WE ARE GOOD!

This Power Point presentation will show you how to remove your cylinders for rebuild.

For our Canadian SSR owners, this is an opportunity that should not be missed.

Here is a taste!

Dicktator

1. Eight Hydraulic cylinders operate your roof.
2. Smaller roof cover cylinder
3. Removing Roof Lift cylinder
4. Canadian SSR Fanatic, Jim Greeley from Toronto. Getting right into the project. Jim was GREAT!! YES, he is standing in my roof compartment.
5. Hydraulic Reservoir and pump location under big black box in roof compartment.

I convinced Barry Pattison to drive his final production, Pacific Blue, 2006 to the rally.

He will be running with Wingnutz, instead of passenger.

Trying to get as many R's as we can.

Dicktator
Okay, the above is all news to me. Am I missing something?:puzzled:
OK, it wasn't you. Barry has a final production Pacific Blue and his friend Bill just bought a Ultra Violet 04. They were going to ride together, I convinced them to bring both SSR's.

Barry gave his 05 Red SSR to his Son Shawn. Don't think Shawn can make it, someone has to run Dad's Company.

Sent Wingnutz a PM with Barry's phone #, they are all in Toronto area.

Dicktator
Back on Canadian Rally!

I should have instructions or at least know how to install pneumatic roof cylinders by the time I get to Canada.

Mike Moro did some first installs this week in Phoenix. He is sending me a set to install and do Power Point.

Hope to have this done for you guys.

The pneumatic/gas cylinders assist/buffer roof opening/closing during operation.

If your roof does the "thump" at the end of opening, your pneumatic cylinders have lost their OEM pressure of 106lbs. Still have pressure but not the pressure they should have.

They are 10yrs old.
