Plexiglas is the original Rohm & Haas (IIRC) trademark for what is generically called acrylic. Polycarbonate is the generic term for what was originally sold by GE as Lexan. 'Vandal proof' clear plas
This matters in particular if you're trying to assemble (acrylic solvent-welds easily, polycarbonate not really at all) or laser-cut on a CO2 laser (acrylic cuts nicely, polycarbonate just sucks up
I have the older version of this as well. Clunkier than the Hiltis and etc. you can rent from Home Depot, the controls are clunkier and it doesn't FEEL as good. But...you can OWN it for the price of
Drain the oil from the compressor crankcase, make sure any belt-tensioning arrangement the motor might have on it doesn't let it flop around, otherwise I don't see why not. John. ____________________

I don't know the EXACT configuration of the engine/pump you're talking about, but you ought to be able to grab that tube with some vise grips, dump some PB Blaster on it and wiggle it out, then tap
This worked for me as well. Done it a few times, but most notably I've got a spare-tire mount on my trailer that's got a 1in (I think) bolt thru a plate to retain the wheel, I cut the threads off the

Not to thread-hijack but maybe the information overlaps. I've got a little BatteryMinder that came from Northern Tool on sale, it does a good job of keeping my trailer's winch battery happy but it w
You have three basic approaches out there for a parking brake with rear discs. One (common in higher-end German products, trucks, and a few others) is to put a drum in the hat of the rear rotor. One
In general - they are friends, they bring food, in a slightly earlier day they bring kids to entertain my daughter. Daughter's more selective about friends now. Boys are frenemies. If the car is in m

Ah yes, the conversion kit for the California-compliant plastic gas cans with the horrible vapor-trap nozzle, for those who actually want their gas cans to be red and don't want to buy a white finger
The recovery/desulfating mode on some chargers work very well, and on some it's a joke. I've got a NOCO Genius 7200 that works well, the main thing is that if the battery is completely dead the 12V r
This is humor, right? With any recent vehicle the parasitic loads will kill the battery in 6-8 weeks. John. _______________________________________________ Shop-talk@autox.team.net Donate: http://www
One thing I've learned over the years - buy a battery from some place convenient. My nearest Wally is twenty miles away, and the returns desk/line is often absurd. I'll happily pay $10 more to deal
We're not worthy. But damn, I wish I had that much space to work with. John. _______________________________________________ Shop-talk@autox.team.net Archive: http://www.team.net/pipermail/shop-talk
All my spam is in Chinese. I don't answer most calls from numbers I don't recognize, and in mobile phones there's usually a 'block as spam' button somewhere. We've got NoMoRobo hooked up to the house
I have a Noco Genius 7200 charger, and it works reasonably well for that, there are times that you need to charge on the 6V setting long enough for the charger to find enough life in the battery to
