A couple updates: I bought one of the hand held compressors like the blue one in the first post, but without the spray gun. The threads on top...
Yep, you guys are right! I need to pay better attention to the charts, but it is 5 1/2" from bolt center to the EDGE of the opposite hole. Those...
This isn't necessarily a "wanted" ad, but I'm happy to take any leads. I have a pair of ag-implement axles that I want to put to work, but they...
Not sure which of the forums I'm on will have the most airbrush guru's, but since some of you use them when detailing customs, lets give it a...
I've made some progress on my Sun 200 set! First in regard to my missing spark plug lead for the EDT unit, I found another unit on eBay that had...
I just masked the center and spray painted the inside flat black.
Well, still no luck finding gaskets, so I got some material and cut some out. I used 1/16" felt (from McMaster Carr) as the old gaskets seemed to...
As the title says, I'm looking for the felt/paper lens gaskets for Grote 5600 series fender marker signal lamps. They're thin and wispy things, so...
That's cool and no rush. Thanks for checking!
Here's a pic from the manual. [ATTACH] If I need to DIY it, I found this spark plug tester to sacrifice. I'll drill a hole in the side for the...
The boot that fits over the spark plug and the lead would be easy to splice. Not sure about the side that goes into the cars spark plug wire I...
Referring back to my Sun 200 kit (pictures in post #329), I'm missing the spark plug lead for the Electronic Distributor Tester. In user manual...
My dad had this old Spartan C-8 horn in his collection. When he was working on his 53' Ford F-100, he took the Spartan apart to rebuild it and...
Thanks. It sure does. He was on the decline for the last 10 years, and I would occasionally get comments from others how I needed to finish the...
Tonight I got the seat finished up. The frame had several broken springs and rods, which I repaired by doubling them up with another wire and...
I doubt it as other features are nice round fractional numbers. Some spots along the thread have more wear than others, but checking at various...
It's not 4 tpi it's 3.5, which isn't a common thread option.
I work in a machine shop and am planning on making the nut myself, though the odd thread will be tricky. If I can ID the original vise though I...
Maybe a long shot, but I've had this thing kicking around the shop for awhile and not sure what kind of vise it came off of. The thread is 1" OD...
My parents got this one at a swap meet somewhere in California sometime in the 80's, and growing up it always sat on the porch or in the garage...
Haven't found a clear answer to this online yet. I don't do a ton of aerosol painting. Often it's a quick job with rattle can's, or at most a...
Cool project! I've always liked the first gen flat-fender Jeeps. I like them stock, not so much from a purest perspective, but more "if it isn't...
Sorry this thread might be a little bit of a grey area, but one of my other interests is restoring and using old machine shop equipment. Like old...
[MEDIA] And the standard 12v horn. I can't find much online about changing the pitch on these, and most sound like this one, so I'm wondering if...
[MEDIA] Here's the lower toned 6v horn.
One of my ongoing projects is restoring my dads old 53' Ford F-100. The whole project has been a fine line between restoring it back to a factory...
I know this is an old thread, but I have the exact same horn as the OP and can't find any specifics about it through Google. Mine is stamped...
This project is still ongoing. Slow and steady and whatnot. I'll post some of the progress later, but we lost my dad this last July. It was a...
Any have any survivor stake side sets on their trucks, or old sets they restored? I have a couple sets I dug out of a South Central Texas...
[ATTACH] So I bought another metal lathe recently, and this old coke sign had been welded on and painted over as a belt guard. I did my best to...
