Picked up some of the basics of a ShEgo project today (13/10/2010) and have made a list of questions and bits i need. Your help would be gratefully recieved. For starters, here's what i got from the previous owner (minus the three grip screws!):
(14/10/2010): What i've done so far is basically put it together as much as possible by having a rummage in my toolbok for grip screws, grip frame screws, ASA, new reg, hose, etc. I've swapped the reg for a CP one. Lubed the firing assembly, marked the rear grip frame screw hole - planning on drilling that tomorrow along with a hole in the trigger guard to make accessing the front grip frame screw easier with the allen key. And generally worked out what bits i'm missing and what i need to do to get it running.

Today i've soldered the battery harness to the board and the wires that run from the board to the solenoid. All put together and eyes plugged into board = click, click, click!!! And the eyes are working! Haven't drilled and tapped the hole for the rear grip frame screw. Should have time to do that tomorrow.
Board and battery fitted back into grip frame. Eyes loose and won't be finishd until everything else is up and running as i'll send it to the States to have the eye hole milled and lazer eyes supplied by Speedscustom! Just need noid scews now to mount the noid to the manifold and 1 o-ring to seal the noid to the manifold. Looks as though the screws from an Etek3 might fit so fingers crossed that Planet can help! Still looking for the o-rings...

Today's update!
Drilled and tapped rear grip frame screw today! Drilled hole in trigger guard to make front grip frame screw removal easier. Pressure gauge thread locked in.

Hopefully the last couple of pieces are on their way as i've ordered them this morning... Planet supplying the solenoid mounting screws and the o-rings on their way from Simply Bearings.
I picked up some generic Shocker o-rings from Eelz yesterday who also gave me a clamping feed neck too which was very genrous of him. Thanks fella
It's now up and running
Do i send it off to SpeedsCustom to get the body milled and the lazer eyes sorted?
Many thanks for your help.
