Well, they seem convinced that putting a slab down in the spring is the way to go. So now that the moisture issue will be mostly taken care of, I need to come up with a way to insulate the ceiling. I

I'm helping a friend fix a BMW starter. The starter gear slides along a shaft and is stopped by a collar held in by a retaining ring. The ring is a round section type like these: http://www.rotorclip

The integrity of the screw's edge is far more critical on a 2 wheeler than a 4 wheeler. Plus, it will need some bite while actually on the trailer. Yes, that's sorta what I'm after, but thick enough
