Cheap Tricks
I wanted to start a thread about things we have learned that make working on our stuff easier. Tricks that cost little or nothing and save time, money and agravation. Most of these things are only learned thru experience or shared info (my buddy showed me this..). I think this will really help the younger folks and first timers the most. Mechanics and builders please share some of your tricks. Here is an example:
Sock Tech....Don't throw away your old white socks. I was saving mine for rags and found a couple more things they can be used for. I was nervous about scratching my white ceramic coated headers on re-assemby so I cut the tops off at the ankle, cut em from top to bottom and wrapped em around the header tubes and used masking tape to hold em in place. I then used the bottoms to protect my NOS sport mirrors. Check out the pics..
