Just wondering how it is decided which techs go into the archive. Without the search option yesterday, I thought I'd have it easy locating a tech from a couple weeks back. It wasn't listed in the archives. The tech I was looking for was clear back around page 40 or so, the motor mount tech in any veh. It is one of the best techs I've seen so far, just for the pure fact that bushing part numbers & actual tubing specs were given. I mean, you know exactly which bushing for exactly which tubing. It's this kinda info which makes some of this stuff so easy. That tech for sure should be in the archives. What happened??? Also, this hamb thing is just awesome & I see so much info in here which really improved my knowledge already, but the tech archive is really pretty small. Just wondering. Thanks, Carl

Indashop did that article, it's a good one, I plan to build mine the same way. I've met Wyatt several times, he's a pretty sharp fella. Here's "da" link.

most? of the Archived threads in the Tech section were chosen winners of Tech weeks past.
occasionally an exceptional thread will be added to the archives without winning Tech Week..

C'mon, Paul, you know it didn't used to be like that! Usetabe that someone just put "Tech-O-Matic" in a reply & after several more folks jumping on that particular bandwagon, it made it in. ;)
There are several posts deserving of inclusion (& would help answer many common questions/problems - I mean, how many T5 to Flathead threads do we need?) & if we've decided to only include Tech Week Winners, we're losing out here because the search function of this board is somewhat limited (can't search for T5 - too short).

true.
wonder why?
maybe Tech-Archive!! isn't as fun to say as Tech-O-Matic!!
and I have a feeling the latest T5 thread will end up there.
it's good.
soon.

Too much! Denise I'm not sure I should break this to you, but its all an act just to get your cookies.
I had to actually update that Tech. Turns out Energy Suspension stopped selling direct to the public. You now have to go through a distributor. The part # is still the same, and you will have to pay a bit more for the bushing which sucks. Also if you have trouble with your local source trying to sell you a whole kit, if they won't sell you the single pieces then try another, and report it to Energy Suspension. That is the feedback I got from Energy Suspension this morning after another HAMB'r had issues.
