Great news mate, keep it going. Why not have a go at making a harness from thin paper or metal foil? The lead foil from wine bottles or the silver foil from some medicinal tablets packs is ideal.
I am not going to get done in time. I keep getting called out of town for business and I started late anyways. I just looked over what I need to do and it is impossible to finish in time with any sort of quality that I want. I appologize and will do better on the PTO build.
