Notice how the cool moderator used the keyword

ABSMODULE to defeat the 'ignore three character words' search dilemma - this was after he couldn't find it until he remembered the source was McMaster Carr and that popped it up.

How about having a batch of T-shirts made up to order with a focus on the MVS logo but perhaps including a bunch of the business supporters of MVS and good guys like Matty at Mid-West. I'd certainly be up for buying a couple in vast 3XL format or tent which ever comes in the larger...Hmmm! Price them at maybe $15-20 or whatever makes sense with a profit margin to go toward the web-site maintenance and all those good administrator folks! How about some coffee mugs or stress balls!!!

Have them made to a pre-order format so you don't get stuck with a bunch.

I'm In! Like Neal, save a couple of big ones for me. :mrgreen:

And I'm still handing out MVS "I Heart My Volvo" stickers.
But I'd like to see stickies with more "MVS Presence".
Maybe the circular geartooth MVS Logo?

Thanks, Matt!

I just buy those from Ace hardware, though they are not stainless. With hex head I don't think they need to be. For me any time an ABS comes out, hex head screws go back in.

I just ordered a module, less than an hour later and the thing is on its way. Midwest is working it!

And when you email Matt, "It's not working!!!"

He'll calmly write you back, in about a half hour or less, telling you to remove the module and reseat it properly.

He's single-handedly responsible for so many of our cars still being on the road... He's the real deal.

I was able to source replacement hex cap screws at the local Ace Hardware Store, .75 cents each, can't beat that. They are black though, not stainless.
