Hi Chuck,

	Congratulations on getting your new cap, I know it's exciting, 
good luck with your project.
	 I have been thinking of getting a cap with the same specs.I was 
curious about the cost and if they have a part number or anything to 
order this size tesla service cap with? Do they indicate the max 
suggested break rate it can handle,etc.?
	Hope to here more about your project on the list.
