I too, have had some experience with PLC's and Freq. drives, can't say I'm the best at it, but I can hold my own! I really don't do alot of conduit anymore, kinda moved past that knuckle draggin' stuff..ha,ha.I worked construction for years(Industrial,commercial and residential) and have had the privelage to see and to work with just about evreything in the Electrical world  , including elevators! Would I be safe to assume you work for Otis? I work at a Nuke plant here in Michigan(the one that isn't shut down),and I see the Otis guys here every now and again. Now I've done some pretty complex pipe racks/networks in my time so I wouldn't say it's all easy stuff! There is some skill involved,especially when you start running rigid conduit! I'm also a certified(3G-UP) welder,that's where I had my concern with the grade of steel? like I said in another earlier post, I'm really not too sure, the the grade of steel the OBX's are? I was just questioning yhe cost and the reason to go with a thicker gauge! I guess my experience with cheaper Chinese pipe from the past caused me to question! I 'm not trying to put anyone down with their choice of headers. At least that wasn't what I was trying to put out there.I guess I just got caught up with the comment about being a fool to purchase Kooks instead of the OBX's!  Anyway I'm rambling here, I don't think anything bad about anyone buying the OBX's, I'm sure they are good headers, just not for me! Nice color by the way, that was actually the color and stripes I almost got, but I got my second color choice for alot less, couldn't pass it up! Later. |
It's all good man. Im just having fun. No different than when I'm out with my buddy's and we all talk crap on each other, it's just fun. I work for ThyssenKrupp which ironically is also one of largest steel company's in the world. It's between us and Otis for largest in the world, it's goes back and forth depending on whatever independent one or the other just acquired.
I don't think anyone is dumb for buying kooks, in fact I say that's great. It's just wasn't for me. I got a smokin deal on the OBX that I just couldn't pass up. In fact I was ready to buy the stainless power from Maryland speed when I came across the OBX deal. Btw, even though Maryland speed and I disagree in the OBX stuff I still fully support his business. I have been buying stuff from him since I had my LS1 GTO and I will continue to.
I've said this before and I'll say it again, if my OBX ever fail I will be the first one to come on this forum and tell the world. Then I'll humbly call Maryland speed and order a set of kooks.
