Shop Time w/T.W. Friends. Torque wrench on spark plugs, we need answers so cast your vote now

Saddle on the grill and one at the table eating

 

I'll take that challenge.


Wait...

 

Audible on the pressure washer mount, he wanted to go floor instead of wall. Hopefully this will hold up.

 

Four wheeler is done except for black paint on racks. Only had one center cap and picked up two new screws for the master cylinder.

 

The brake calipers I machined yesterday, the guy is putting them on a 1994 Mustang, converting them to GT500 brakes. He said the originals only have 1 piston, these have 4 for those that didn't catch that earlier

He bought these from Rock Auto, the bosses will get changed on the other one to match the offset holes.

 

@tacotoe odd request, can you post a picture of the hood latch handle from inside your Corvette?

 

That will stop...

 

Here I thought I was the only one to buy things to increase the order to get more goodies for the freight costs

 

to be truthful, I believe that a Millwright (turbine crew) local purchased it a few outages ago. They didn't take with them so guess acouple of our mechanic dudes swiped it...so yeah it's a little warm...I wouldn’t say hot . Lots of catching up to do here. I got out of work about 4 AM. Then woke up and hit post office, O'REILLY, ACE Hardware, then Walmart. Took a look at kids Blazer and contemplating just take to stealership for repair. Ugh, big sigh.

 

Being Stainless it should hold up well, one would think...good price too!

 

You did know this was going to go this way??

The first one went way to easy I thought a trip to the friend with the EDM

Another fine job

 

Sure. Give me a little while, I need to head out there and put some more rodent poisen out anyways.

 

2.25" wide x .900 tall pull rod is .250" diameter

 

Nice repair on that head. Hate it when the easy out or tap, or even a drill breaks. Solid carbide center cutting end mill time.
I've heard about the crayon trick but never tried it yet. I know just getting the parts hot then spray with penetrating juice it will suck in, so I imagine a crayon works good too! Crayon may be less chance of damage from heat / rapid cool..

 

I priority mailed 2 Ringo nuts to @MrEdofSC today so hopefully you'll get them by Saturday. I kept 1 for a template

 

Was just curious what it looked like, thanks. These match almost perfectly

My next job, drill em and tap em.

 

Pretty darn close!

 

You ask for a picture you get creed fabrication picture lol

 

Looks like the rodents have snacked on that old speaker!

 

That's pretty good thinking, but the NGLI shit that the truck uses leaks like a stuck pig from both ends. I blame it on the Vato'Zone special grease gun, so for the interim, it sits in the oil catch pan.
