Hello Dave,
Interesting question you ask. Pricing has not been set as of yet so I can be of no help on that issue right now.
Regarding non-personalized versions or just plain freebies… that was never my intention to offer. But I do plan to offer a discounted price if you purchase the manual and wiring diagram at same time. And most likely, if you already purchased a wiring diagram from me, a discount of some sort.
The cost of the electronic memory card, packaging, postage, copywriting, phone calls, printing…..etc. not to mention my time and effort to make the Owners Manual I would hope it to be of some value to everyone. I have solicited input from owners, and received many suggestions. Most have asked for the same type of info. Remember, this will be an Owner’s Manual not a shop manual, but it will contain a lot of technical information. It will not give you a step by step procedure to install any of the multiple engines and transaxle’s available, or install an ignition or fuel injection system. Nor will it detail the specialized installation tricks developed by Dennis Olthoff, etc.
That’s their livelihood.
With all the Wiring Diagrams and owners manuals I have done, I’ve had only one complaint to date, and that owner also had suggestions for God on creation…. Many have said I charge too little for my work. Someone said for the cost of a good bottle of wine which is gone in an hour, you get a manual that lasts forever…. and you even get updates as they happen from factory.
Feel free to contact me off line and I’ll give you a preview… I’ll be a reunion and a printed copy or two will be by Rick Mucks trailer for inspection.
btw:
Anyone have a GT I could borrow for a couple weeks?
