That is more like it. What would it take to get 802's pre-assembled, other than a neighborhood friend.

Here is my version of it: I use the easiest coupler of all. Hands down the easiest. It comes completely assembled and RTI (ready to install) to the car. Use the Kadee #3 coupler! It is a Kadee factory-assembled #5 and cannot fall apart in your hands. The lid is held on by sonic welding (uneducated guess). Easier by far than the larger #802 allegedly-S coupler. Easier even than the standard KD#5 kit. And available bulk packaged to save a buck or two. My couplers are the best! How are yours? Chuckles..........Ed Loizeaux
