NW WA Meet / BS Thread

What tape should I use on LPG connections that require it?

 

Yellow. It should say something about being for gas use on it.

 

Correct, I carry at my store. White for General purpose ( hydraulics, water, air ) Yellow for Gas, and Blue which is just a monster roll of Teflon tape hah.
anything bigger than 1/2" if i remember right is suppose to use pink, i just double up on white and its always held just fine.

Thats really odd, I wonder why a county wouldn't allow tape thats designed for gas?

 

Because Government......

 

The mayor has a stake in Rectum seal maybe.

 

Dang... put a different window washer tank in after a year... wow that's nice to have that luxury. Also got the 3in tweak out of my 50 dollar bumper. Going to have to plug weld some holes and cap the ends. At least it's on solid and functional before the snow. For those of you that didn't get out last weekend the view up at Van Epps was killer, especially without the smoke.

 

Did you end up bracing the inside of the bumper with tube? I think that’s what you were talking about doing...

 

I actually removed the wing part that wraps around the fender for clearance when I run 34's. It also creates a lot of leverage on the front. I have a 2 more full height gussets to put in later, it will/would have saved the bumper from major carnage. A different route same concept as we were chatting about.

 

Nice, I'd like to see how you end up doing that. I have some fabrication planned for my front bumper as well, some gusseting may be in order.

 

To refresh here is where I am talking about with putting another vertical stiffener in, and the 2 horizontal gusset plates off of it. There is no support or reinforcement from the left or right side of the winch to the tip.


Even with a flawless weld job it would still twist like a pretzel with out any inner boxing/reinforcing. I'm just glad the weld broke making my part super simple. 2 faces of flat plate to straighten out a bend. Then 3 that are pretzled.

 

That's what she said.

 

Lmfa. The state of mind is .. yeah lost that thought

 

FLEKKKSSSSSS

 

FTFY

 

Y'all see this yet? Apparently they are over half a mil in backlog orders.

Crazy situation, and pretty much a shit sandwich for everyone. I think what bites most small businesses in the ass is confusing "profit" with "cash flow." My wife is a CPA and does a lot of small business accounting. Quite a few of her customers are always upset at tax time when they owe taxes on $XXX,XXX in profits, and the say "but I don't have $XXX,XXX in the bank, why do I owe taxes on $XXX,XXX??"

With these production type businesses, it winds up being a ponzi scheme, the next order generates the cash flow to pay for the materials for the last order. Like a payday loan, they can't ever catch up, and eventually fold.

 

That's really unfortunate. Hopefully they can pull things together. My friend had ordered a set of sliders from them.

 

Time for @JimSnell to get a fab shop up and running.
