Pay it Forward, HAMB "Auction" Brake Reference book

After all the questions I have seen about brake systems, I thought this would be a good item. I happen to have a Brake interchange book that handles cars and trucks(light and Med duty)WAGNER #S. This has all of the info you would need to design your brake system properly. This book is not worth money in my eyes, I can get a copy from my parts guys at will. But it seems it is unobtanium for many!Here is the deal, I will put this up for auction to the HAMB IN BARTER. This is a good reference material. I dont want money for the HAMB or my self.

The winning bidder will have a cool reference book, Interchange, or collection of tech info to RE-AUCTION to the HAMB. Myself, Ryan and the HAMB DRAGS FOOD CREW get to pick the winner based on technical merit. Bought books will count, ie: AV8s book, yet things like old shop manuals, Hollanders, Machinist manuals etc.......are even better...lets get creative here. I would like to see the circle of knowledge keep going!@%^&@#!


A recap, you get the brake book if you have another cool reference manual, I will then restart the auction with your winning book. I hope to keep this going for a while. Try to find those cool old shop reference manuals, machinist manuaks etc!

There is no money on the block here, we are just auctioning information based on the merit of the info itself!!!!

 

does it count as tech if i can actually decline unobtanium?


yeah! latin!

(wait... that's not latin)

i'll give you "Wheelock's Latin, 3rd edition"

 

Cliff, I have no clue what you mean but NO

 

it means all my books are useless college textbooks.

i think it is a great idea. but i don't have anything.
wait... i do have av8's book. since i'm not building a hot rod right now consider that my bid.

 

The first bid is Mike Bishops Book! Warpigg is the man!

 

Does the Hokey Ass Cookbook count as tech?

 

No Zeke, You get to judge

 

Does it include the specs for drums and rotors? If not can you get that book? I have some hardback Chiltons but I think they are for later model. Sorry I dont part with the oldies unless I have doubles. Also lots of engine parts catalogs, good for referencing old stock parts, like pistons, rings, timing sets, etc. A must have for the swap meet shopper.. and they have all the specs and measurements. If someone really really wants it (maybe if this continues as planned.. I want Hollanders) I have a Holley applications guide, a really fat book that lists all the apps for Holleys by #.

 

Trent, I've got an a mid 50's auto body book, hardbound. I'll get the title when I get home tonight. This would be a cool as "traditional" as it get's reference manual. Chapters on lead and all the other ways bodywork was done back in the "day".

I've got a couple of Pratt & Whitney shop manuals for WWII airplane engines, does that count?
r

 

Okay, Title of the book is: 'Automotive collision work, including refinishing'. Printed by the American Technical Society, copyright for this edition 1959, but originally published in 1953. Really some cool info in it on bodywork done the old school way. In the estimate section it list a regular automechanic as a $1.50/hour. Dang

Hmmmmm....that went over like a lead balloon. Pete, cool book.

 

Don't give up, yet! I'll "bid" a 1962 Pontiac factory shop manual, a Hot Rod Deluxe #1 and a Car Kulture Deluxe #1. The Pontiac manual is an old library copy that has been checked out many times and has seen ALOT of garage time! In other words, it is a very used copy. The two magazines are new, though!

 

Very cool bid there girl!!!!

Desert, yes it has drum specs,whl cyl specs, MC Bore specs, part #s, rebuild kit part #s etc.

 

I bid a 'Motors Flat Rate & Parts Manual 1958'.

 

Forgot to say the auction ends 5PM next Wednesday

 

i watched that movie too,,"PAY IT FOWARD" it sucked when the lil kid got stabbed

 

nothin' more old school than this bid, 1st edition Machinery's Handbook, not perfect but all there. Commonly improperly refered to as the Machinist Handbook. Lets see if anyone beats this.

 

How about Automotive Body and Fender Repairs by C.E. Packer, 1945. Leather bound, in very good condition.
Perhaps you to need to hone up on your tinning and soldering skills.

 

Nice, those last two bids are tough!

 

lets get this back to the top, nothin' better for this than some more competition.

 

Sammy, I saw that movie as well. A slutty looking Helen Hunt!

 

BTTT, Ryan can you pin this thing up?

 

Try it again

 

So, where are we at with this? Did it end or is it this coming Wed.?

 

Ends tomorrow eve.

 

OK, I found a member of the food crew that was not watching porn or drinking YooHoo. We voted, DONZIE IS THE WINNER!!!!! Don, since I have to send you some stuff anyway, hold onto the book til you get my parcel. It is carshow weekend so It wont be for a few days.

 

More like a year or two!

 

Hey man, been in the chat and you could have had a hand in the deal Don will get ALL the stuff I need to send him. (inside joke? not really)

 

very very sad here......let me know when you do this again, will have to up my bid
