Hey Alan,
I was jazzed to get my screen capture program installed and working yesterday, it's a great tool for showing exactly what I'm doing in the software. Solidworks has a animation program, but I'm having trouble with it giving me really low quality recordings. They look like the clips on Youtube, in low quality.
I'm using Camtasia studio to capture what I'm doing on the computer. I can add audio as well if desired. I saw it being used by a CAD instructor of mine, and just had to have it. The actual files I save in Camtasia look just like the original quality on my monitor, so very sharp.

Greetings SMMOMs,
I've been working on a number of different ways to configure my version of a Mushroom vent for the front and rear MBT's on my K-250. This is the one I like the best so far.

http://cid-5085d10eb6afe47c.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Mushroom%20Vent%20Concept%20Main%20Assembly
It's mostly made up of 1/4" X 1" 316 SS bar stock, and 1" thick black UHMW. So the goal is for it to be easy and affordable to make and assemble. I made a mock up of the single line, spring loaded pneumatic cylinder Vance was talking about, which I would like to use in this assembly. I will need to trim away some material on the plunger land, and the piece cut out when I made the whole in the FRP MBT, that meets the bottom of the FRP MBT, and then attach them with Seka flex and SS screws. This way I can have a clean look on the top area of the MBT's, and the angle I have to mount the vent on aids in letting almost all the air out. The very small air pockets left I'm thinking will not be an issue. I thought mounting the vent this way would be better for my application, since the knuckle curvature of the heads and the high point of the MBT's are in the same area.
I'm interested in your guys thoughts on this concept design. I've uploaded three screen capture clips of the assembly animated on Youtube. The quality is not that great on Youtube, so if anyone would like better quality versions of these clips, let me know off list and I'll send them to you.
