To the contributors:
If you feel you have contributed an excellent quality writeup, please PM an elite moderator for an upgrade to your user account (more pms, attachements, custom user title) pending review of your howto guide.

To the people with questions:
If you can't find what you're looking for on this list, please use the subforum to post a request for help.

Suggested Guidelines for writing a great HowTo:
-Start with a short description of what you're doing and why
-Include a list of tools
-Include a time estimate
-Include torque specs wherever possible
-include sharp photos
-Resize your images to 800pix or less in width. Especially less if they are blurry and the extra size adds no value
-be thorough in your steps...
-spelling and grammar check
-don't repeat a how-to that's already included here... go for something new

FYI. apologies to those who might browse in and find a link to one of TRM's how-to's dead. i'm in the process of migrating to a new webhost. i can see via statistics this section is referenced frequently compared to the rest of my hosted sites so i will gladly keep it up for users.

i expect everything to be resolved in a day or so.
