Nova Scotia BS Thread

I'm just getting old I guess! Not willing to spend any real money, passively looking for an exhaust,

 

Old exhaust is off. I dont remember who had first dibs on what.

 

You'll have to post a video once you get the new one on

 

I just need the pipe that goes from the spring bolts to the muffler but if someone else needs the whole deal I'm not in dire straits

 

Anyone know where to get a decent 5HP 220v motor. I bought a 2 stage ingersoll rand monster of a compressor. Got it dirty cheap, but she needs a new motor. 15CFM at 175 PSI. I think it will run anything I will ever want to run with it.

 

If you wanna grab it i can meet ya some evening. Its all one piece though so youll be stuck with the rest of it lol.

 

You could check with BJ electric, we deal with them through work. I'm not sure what his prices are like though.

He's at the top of Wright, next to Rods Machine shop.

 

Anyone know any plumbers who need work? We need a couple good guys badly. Pay well, pension, medical, etc

 

They basically gave me the go away pricing when I gave as many of the specs as I could find. So to princess auto I go. At least they have a good warranty and customer service.

 

Huh, sorry I recommended them! I really only pick up and drop off, never have to place an order! Hopefully you'll be able to find something at PA!

This motor with a 5" pulley should net me the RPM at the compressor I want.

 

Sounds like a plan

 

I can meet ya this weekend?

 

Sorry to leave yea hanging, weekend sounds good. Where you at?

 

If youre in halifax i can meet ya in windsor? Otherwise im in wolfville. Ill be around sunday all day i think. Potentially saturday evening works too

 

Brake job is now a caliper job yay me

Top left and bottom right pistons are Seized and won’t budge Just my luck

And to make things worse the 2 bolts that hold the caliper on are also seized on even my air impact gun won’t get them off

 

I used to seize calipers like it was my day job.

Those bolts are generally hard to get off, a breaker bar and a 200 lb gorilla generally have a better advantage than the average impact gun.

Have you gotten the hard line off the caliper yet?

If not SOAK it in penetrating fluid, and make sure you work it back and forth, use a flare wrench as well. Those fittings are super easy to strip. You don't want to turn your brake job gone caliper replacement into a brake job+caliper+brake line. Those tight "S" bends are annoooooooying.

 

I hear ya

I couldn’t fit my breaker bar in there plus I was using my jack that came with the truck I was a afraid of dropping the truck

A body of mine has a body we gonna see if I can get it in there if not I’m gonna turn the tire before I jack it up

I’m heading down to Scotia next next Monday I think , I have a template for splash guards from @Manfred to drop off I’ll be down for minimum A week set up a meet up and I’ll drop it off for yas
maybe he can explain it better then I can at the moment

 

There's been some serious discussion on the Ontario thread about extending the front portion. Chris will tell you what I mean but it looks like this

 

That looks pretty accurate. I have a cnc machine but I dont know how easy it is to cut that it
