Here's a couple of thoughts for build support threads, just wondered what other think:


Books -- I suppose this comes in two flavours:

Stratos books for reference (I don't have to list them do I?)
Skills, Technology and Methods books for building. An example is (as it's next to the PC) "Carol Smith's Nuts, Bolts, Fasteners and Plumbing Handbook"

Tools -- Those essential "wouldn't it be nice if they made a ...." tool which does exactly what you want. For instance:

Clecos. I'd never heard of them before and "stumbling" into them was a great eye opener for me.
Clip pliers. The one you use to get the clips off and on hoses all over productions cars.


Hmmmm?

Perhaps for you old hands out there this is all obvious stuff, but for us newbies there is so much to get up to speed with.
