Tim,

Is there any opportunity to get the PC ties optionally ONE side clad? This would be great for the hinged points methods.

P.S. Glad to see the crossover options as well.

I estimate I have about 5 pounds of coupler springs somewhere in the vicinity of my workbench.

Hi Ed,

I have looked into using single sided PC board for the ties, and found that, locally, the material was actually more expensive than double sided! I guess there is not as much demand for this, and it is reflected in the price.

I have found that the copper foil can be easily removed for the board with a few aggressive passes with a sharp file.
