    Thanks to your worklog i discovered paracord :clap: :clap:
    I just wanted to ask, if you know where to buy these in Europe, I'm having hard time finding some (i really like the colour range, can't find that many in MDPC-X for example)
    Does your sponsor send to other euro countries?

    I'm looking for some specific colours.... hope you can help me :blush:

    Didn't check there, was expecting some modding shop instead :)

    I just ordered some samples from the states to decide which colours i will finally choose and then will place the final order from ebay

    I will ask at knivbutik aswell, maybe he can get the colours i need!
    I just ordered samples (25ft of each) directly from the States so i can decide which colours suit my needs.

    I'm after some "gold" looking colour, and i checked a lot of pictures, and finally decide to choose between Coyote Brown, Coyote Tan, Desert Tan and i think i ordered some other that could work :blush:

    Have you used Heatshrink with paracord before? I know you are not using it for this build, but just wanted to make sure which size of heatshirnk to buy.
    I've read that 3:1 but not sure about diameter for both.

    It is possible to sleeve Sata with paracord 550 aswell? Otherwise i will have a hard time looking for Sata sleeve that match my Paracord :wallbash:

    How easy is it to sleeve cables with the paracord vs. the MDPC-X type sleeve? I've heard paracord attracts and shows dust but, it is considerably cheaper and it does look pretty nice. And, MDPC sleeve is hard to get in the states :S

    Hi dude!

    its like two times harder...or let me say this it takes almost two times more to sleeve with paracord... and paracord does not attract dust ;), yes its cheap and it looks so great! So you have plenty of reasons to buy and try ;D

    Now I've finally got some time left to make an update to the people:)

    But before I show you something I want to throw up two pictures of Isoprypanolburken I got me away from Arthur, and something I bought my way home from work at Kjell & CO(swedish allround electronic store)

    What I did is that I have had time to finish the whole pump, what is done with it is;
    -Soldered of the original cables
    -Soldered on a new 3pin cable (complete with contact pins, etc.)
    -Sleeve the cable
    -Modded it with the POM-Top
    -Tested it, and it worked great!

    Work and finished result pictures, it is a bit dark when I was working around 2-3:00 in the morning ... then i would not wake everyone in the house so i used a desktoplamp.

    And it's not in focus? ;)

    Haha, no seriously - nice new stuff. Apart from the "Look at me!" blue logo, those black fittings look really good.
