Thanx I am assuming that you are referencing our 350 lb Technora. They have a UV inhibitor and also a synethic coating to reduce "picks". They usually last 1.5 - 2 times as long as untreated ones. The problem is that they cost a little more due to the fact they take longer to manufacture. Fingertrapping non-coated ones are easier than the coated ones and also locating the marks for installation.

We do have repeat customers with our line sets, but they are somewhat limited. I am only in the shop about 6 months out of the year with my present other job.

I would have had MEL reline my VX a second time with the blue 350 HMA. However, just need to confirm he is not too busy and can get back to you when you need it.

PeteS 0 #6 June 13, 2008 If Mel is out of the shop, I can do the same work for you as he set me up for it. The blue HMA lasts' longer than you would think, we have a VX out here with around 1000 jumps on a 350 lb lineset. Mel, are you home? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
