I agree, I did not say it did not work, it works great, but Evaporust will remove metal if it sits on it long enough. Imagine that any derust solution would. Have also used molasses to derust an oil pan. Took about a week but worked great. A gallon of molasses mixed with about 10 gallons of...

I don’t know about that. I let a set of pushrods soak in Evapo-Rust, with about an inch of the pushrods protruding from the liquid and there was a definite mark at the liquid line where metal had gone away. They say probably 4 days or so.

Why would the nut need to be welded to the back side. You can weld the nut to the outside if you get the perimeter of the nut welded/sealed. You could also tack a flat washer on the front of the nut if the gasket on the bolt needed a larger land. This would save dropping the oil pan.

Put the air compressor in a separate enclosure. I did that on my garage addition and I like having that noisy beast outside of the main work area. I made the compressor enclosure big enough to also hold my blasting cabinet. I mounted the blast cabinet on wheels so I can roll it out of the enclosure.

Agree with that. Needs to be at least in a utility building.

I have had a compressor in an outdoor building for 10 years. No bad effects that I am aware of. In the summer the humidity in an out building will be the same as it is in the shop, unless the shop is air conditioned. In the winter, in extreme cold, zero and below one may need to pay attention to...

Another item that I am pleased with on my garage-shop build is I put a small concrete pad along the back side. I keep a couple of saw horses to use as a table base out there and if I am going to do a lot of metal cutting, grinding, working with smelly solvents,,, anything that will really make...

When I did the floor plan for my garage - shop I made a large 2D drawing similar to what you have. Then I made scale 2D paper cut outs of the work benches, floor shelves, vehicles and set them on the drawing. I made them loose so I could move them around to maximize work flow and space. With...

Found this video on youtube, gives a credible comparison of aluminum brazing rods. Best "No Welder" Aluminum Welding Rods? Alumiweld vs Bernzomatic vs Hobart - YouTube and I will look around for some #6-32 flat head aluminum screws screws | McMaster-Carr

I am making some trim using the aluminum stock sourced from the hardware section at Lowes. I want to fix studs to the back side to mount it and am planning to use flat headed steel screws. These are small diameter screws that will hold only the trim in place, won’t need to hold much weight. I...

Perhaps an ultrasound inspection, but then to have real meaning the equipment and operator would need to be certified for safety inspection. There is likely something similar for boiler inspections. Probably expensive. Perhaps the best advice was given in the video, drain the tank often and set...

Shaping some aluminum sheet metal to finish a project. Times like this I wish that I had a small metal cutting scroll or a mini band saw. Then it hit me, clamp the jig saw in a vice, worked well. Was a lot easier having the cutting blade held and only having to move the material.

I have used Kroil, PB Blaster and regular WD-40 with really good results, however if I run into a bolt that is really stuck, I just plan to hit it with multiple applications of the penetrant usually over a day or so. I have found it to be the exception when a stuck nut - bolt is positioned so...

I bought one of these probably 10 years ago, keeps the floor under the gun clean Summit Gifts 00002 No-Drip Grease Gun Holder | Summit Racing

Then the piece must be heated over a fire made of bamboo wood and the quench can be either Won Ton soup or Ramen noodles. This process has been approved by the Wuhan Institute of Technology. Do not attempt this process if there are wild bats or monkeys in the immediate area.

And they are made in Italy, so at least it’s not more China stuff.

I purchased two of the Element fire extinguishers. One to carry in the 83 D150 and one for the 68 Barracuda. They each come with one plastic mount, I purchased a second plastic mount for each, was like $2.00 and I will attach a pair of the plastic mounts to a strip of aluminum then mount the...

I just sold my aluminum open car hauler. I had room to store it on my property. When not in use I had a lock that fit up into the ball hitch. And I stored it with the hitch in towards a dead end - fence. I have a dolly that hooks to my riding tractor that I used to drive it out. During the off...

we don't have cable here, shut it off years ago, so can't comment on that. Since the dawn of the internet age we consistently had the cheapest - slowest internet option that ATT offered, I believe it was DSL. Last year ATT made us an offer, a 50% reduction in the internet price for a year, after...

It is taking a moment for the media to start dropping from the tank, and get through the media valve, give the tank a kick or a rock as you open the blasting valve. The media stacks up and locks together in the tank so it needs to break free before it can move. If you will be doing a lot of...

The media valve controls the rate at which the blasting media is fed into the hose-nozzle. Too much media and it will not move through the hose to the nozzle. Too little and you are just blasting air. The choke valve balances air to and through the media with air directly to the nozzle. With my...

I believe that I know what you are talking about. I have an 83 D150 and swapped that gas tank out for one from a 91 that had the in tank electric fuel pump. Sounds like you are wanting to swap the later module pump / level sensor module on to an earlier tank. You probably could do that with a...

Maybe you'll come up with something.,,,yea, just roll the car back, jack it up, make an adjustment, let it down and roll it forward,, and as I had mentioned, each adjustor is already in the max position to give the most caster,,so I am not planning any moves on the cams, any adjustment would be...

I am thinking that I will have the front -rear adjustors clocked to provide max caster and go with that, if some tweaking is needed, I am thinking I could reach in the wheel well above the tire.

so you think it would be OK with the center pin if the car was rolled on to the plate?

@RustyRatRod @FJRdoc Doc Hello Rusty and FRJDoc, a question about the need to remove the center pin as mentioned in post #13,, is that slip ability needed due to the car being lowered down on to the DIY slip plates? It seems that if the car was rolled on to the plates the center pin would be...

the quarter car wash that I use is attached to a full service car wash,, by law the water run off is collected and cleaned to what ever the law requires prior to discharge into the sewers. At most car washes at least a portion of the water used is recycled. How Car Washes Work If there was a...

for greasy stuff,,, I take it to the local quarter car wash to blast off the heavy loose stuff, then use a solvent to work on the remaining greasy film, then blast.

I would have a concern over the length added to the pump feed lines. The pump on my pool is high volume and low pressure. If the added lines are smaller that the existing lines and considering all of the 90 degree turns being added, you may reduce flow considerably. We use a solar blanket to...

Not defending the Chinese, but instead of avoiding HF flashlights, you would be better served by shutting down permanently the computer that you used to make your posting, unplugging the flatscreen tv in your living room and never ever use a cell phone. If you want to hate someone for moving...
