Re: Cheap Tricks
Quote:
"The William Schollhorn Company of New Haven, Connecticut was a well-known maker of parallel-jaw pliers and other tools in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The company was incorporated in 1891 and remained active through the first part of the 20th century, and was eventually acquired by the Sargent Company in 1948. Schollhorn is probably best known for its distinctive parallel-jaw pliers, produced under the numerous patents issued to W.A. Bernard. These pliers featured precisely-formed sheet metal handles with embossed designs, a type of construction that offered lighter weight and lower cost than comparable forged handles. " |

Re: Cheap Tricks
Tent spike for a pint/quart paint mixer. Works great mixing 2k high build primer.

I don't know if I'd want the barf/poop dispenser swinging over my head while I'm working.

Re: Cheap Tricks
Garage door seal works perfect for between hood & its braces. Get a big roll at local hardware store.

Re: Cheap Tricks
I thought I posted this but gas line worm clamps work great to remove ebrake cables.

Re: Cheap Tricks
Don't know about you guys, but I generally service rubber parts using a blow dryer.
Speak of rubber parts, boots clean up nicely with a Dremel & brass wheel. WD-40 will get off any crud though I treat it afterwards, it's not meant for rubber parts. The ultimate can't get the rubber on is dishwashing liquid. No comments the peanut gallery, I know how some of you think The bumpers on on the A-arms weren't going in without it and then they popped right in. Probably not so kind to rubber either so wash that off I guess, what do I know. Everyone understand white vinegar is the cheap & ultimate rust/plating/coating remover right Okay maybe not ultimate, a little must for rust in the mix will expedite the process, learned that one from a board member. Easy one, but if you like your nuts & bolts clean taped open end wrenches goes a long way. I use tape all the time, threw a couple layers on fresh upper radiator brackets today to install the u-nuts, I had to get a little rough with them prior to the second refinished Speak of, GM factory didn't necessarily install fan shrouds right, at least not on my BBC. Had to bend the upper brackets and the lip on the core support that was missed. There's why so many shrouds were hit by fan blades at the bottom, IMO, but I'm just a beginner for what worth. Oh yeah Neoprene rubber sheets where you might want some padding. I use the 1/32" mostly, used it for bed pads though really I could have gotten away with 1/16" or so. I think even the 32 is rated something like 800 lbs. or so for what worth. Sometimes I install brackets with it, option for gasket in places. Double sided gift wrap tape keeps it in place, who knew, besides my mom maybe she hoarded the stuff so no shortage of it. Wow, there's some really good stuff above posts.
