First Newton Case was Lost in transit while in the hands of USPS.
Second Newton Case with the help of Ronnie did end up in the hands of
Peter Wong. Unfortunately due to unforseen circumstances Peter was
never able to get and complete CADs of all the parts.
He has in his possision the complete case fully disassembled and one
flip cover courtesy of Frank.
Peter if your able to see this message or anyone is able to contact
him please contact me off list - it woiuld be good to hear from you...

> Frozen Lid
This should have been done by all I heard from Peter was that he was
doing a manual hand measurements and trying to get this into a
workable format that the fabricator could use to give me a ball park
price for manufacturing. It never got to me and I'm still unsure how
much was completed.

This was a project with a formal contract and payment schedule. No one
has ever been able to come up with a full project plan and contract.
Our Japanese Newton Brothers were though able to do so and got one
production run completed which we can see the results of on the web.

They did, if you read the English Translated version of the websites
it stated there.

Yes this is the major hurdle! :(
IF I ever have the time and access toa machine shop I will try to make
a custom Plexiglass case for mine to keep company with my aluminum
MP2x00 sled.
If anyone wants to speak to me about this contact me off list.
IF anyone does have the funds to splurge on this and wants help
contact me... other wise everyone just keep dreaming GREEN!
