ALL CABBY OWNERS....ON HOLD FOR TIME BEING...

Would you be prepared to 'donate' ?6 (p&P) for a chapterised DVD dealing with all aspects of the operation, adjustment and repair of Cabby roofs?

I have split it into 20 chapters, each dealing with a separate subject, and each returning to the chapter menu after playing so you can watch the particular bits you are interested in.
It DOES NOT cover the hydraulic parts of later vehicles.
I have yet to finalise a NOTES section (txt file) dealing with a few point that I think should be mentioned (ie - it deals with a new roof on a new vehicle, not an old roof or an old car), but this could be updated on here.
The DVD will also contain an 'Extras' folder containing some useful info.
I have also produced a Flash version (for use on a laptop whilst at the vehicle..??) which has turned out larger than anticipated, and if I host the whole thing, would cost me a bit on extra bandwidth if lots of people look at it. The final Flash version should 'hopefully' have a skip forward / backward facility (but that's quite a bit of work), and should also be in the 'Extras'.

You can preview the first 4 chapters of the Flash version (the rest of the menu has been disabled, but you can see the titles), and there is a link to a quick demo of the DVD version (no sound or vid clips - just screeshots)

Sorry it's taken ages, but the little clip of the little man sums it up……

I'd pay a few quid for that - quite handy and very retro!

How much would P&P be roughly - couple of quid or edging towards another fiver?

Nice work!

can i vote no because i havn't got a cabby. i won't vote though as it will throw out your research

gotta find out postage, let me find decent packaging first, never had probs with card backed envelopes, hope less than ?2 p&p., so ?7 max…want to keep it all right down and just cover my time and costs…

i would have one

This worked really well when I tested it the other week while fitting my roof and for the price I payed for the roof itself a fiver is nothing!

Im deffo going to buy one just to have it for a rainy day!

yep i would have one as well

I've said yes.

Don't need to replace the roof, done that using Ross's guide, but I love how 'proper' the narrator is and looks like there's some handy hints

…you can understand EVERY word…  

I Would have one, good work.

Any ideas on when this would be available??

yes please, this could save me alot of time.

is there any info on hydraulic sytems that could become availiable at a later date?

…very nearly there…computer still playing up, either the graphics card or processor (old AMD Sempron) does not like video editing anymore      

I will NOT be using Paypal…I would ask everyone to SUPPORT THE LOCAL POST OFFICE and use Postal Orders.

You will be notified in this post, and by pm for those already showing interest, when the DVD is ready.

The hydraulics are not in the video, but are covered in part of the 'PC Extras'.
I know nothing about Mac's, but surely they read Acrobat files don't they????

 ..actual fitting of handle is not covered (but that's easy and obvious) but ADJUSTING correctly is….
