If its ABS, you can use acetone for glue.
Tired of dragging your battery charger around the shop? Mount the charger on a wall/shelf, then adapt an extension cord to the charger leads....
Sorry for your loss.
Some have commented that the amperage draw is the problem, and it may contribute. In my case, I have LED brake lights, and the switches still...
My latest project ('59 el camino) didn't have a key. I tried every key I had in the shop. Finally, the last key I had worked. It was an old...
I used your same setup on my '40 truck. They work so good, I'm glad I didn't use a booster.
I jumped on this last summer when it showed up on CL. Had to buy it on the spot. Sellers' phone was ringing non-stop.[ATTACH]

Why? I've done many times with acetone, its handy, and has lasted for years.
You can use acetone for gluing ABS to ABS. Works incredibly well.
[ATTACH] I have a 302 in my '40 pickup. I didn't have to do anything to the firewall. I used the Explorer water pump, timing cover and balancer...
I've had good luck with spray can furniture polish. It will put a little bit of sheen on the paint.
My little truck has a 1980 302 block with a later 5.0 crank and a flat tappet cam. Works fine.
On the felts, there are little "fingers" that slip into slots in the tracks. Lift up maybe a 1/2" or more, then pull away from the track.
Yep. I finally found a chrome centerpiece for the grill, and added some stripes to break up the black paint.
Cool! Had a great time there as well. Thanks for posting the pics!
When I don't have the correct length bolt for side posts, I use a long bolt and just run a nut down on it. Makes it easier for jumper cables too.
I had the same issue. I'm using an original hand brake, and it just didn't have enough power. I tossed around the idea of an extra arm on the...
This one was for a Harley, but not branded as such. Currently, I have the NAPA switch, so we'll see if it makes it thru the summer. I'm using LED...
I'm on my third brake switch in as many years. Tried different brands, all with the same results: failure. So I machined off the crimp flange on...
I do have a lot of Dutch blood, so nobody should be surprised. I had several of these, most of them were fine, and used them with good results.
I have 2 of these that I found in an old box. Neither one works. Anybody have tips to make them work, or is there a way to cut it open safely, if...
I have an OT Ford that was hard to start when hot. Tried a new starter, battery, etc. Nothing seemed to help, until I put a heat shield on the...
Almost did it, but glad I didn't. We got 1-3/4" rain on Monday and my cowl vent leaks.
AMEN, brother!
My firewall had over 70 extra holes in it that needed filling. After making the patch, I either used a magnet on the backside, or an old gas shock...
I got mine from a guy in a 4x4/Jeep club.
I used an early ('66-77) Bronco rear. I also added 1/2" wheel spacers to bring the rear tires out a bit. fronts: coker Silvertown 185-70-15...
I put some 10W30 on it. Definitely smoother, and about 10% quieter on mine.
Does anybody have suggestions for making these latches a little quieter? They sound like a gun going off when I close the door. I have sound...
