I knew I was forgetting something in my OP. I also have a NOS 250’ reel of 4conductor #8 AWG SOOW cable. Left over from my generator project. Perfect for generator wiring. 100% copper, no copper clad junk. Happy to bring if there is interest. $1400 for the whole 250’ reel.

I also have an 18’ 14k GVRW trailer I’d sell. $4000 7K Dexter axles 8 lug with brakes. 4 new tires 4 New springs All New U bolts All new LED lights All new wiring New 7-way pigtail New treated deck less than 1/4” board gap ( like last weekend new) With a paint job it would be a new trailer.

Bringing a bunch of hand tools. Snap-On, (looking at you Tim) Proto etc. no sets. Just random tools, sockets, screwdrivers, pliers. I also have a few aircraft specific tools. I also have a lot of precision measuring tools for sale. Starrett, Mitutoyo, Brown & Sharp. Dial indicators, test...

It was a good day. We have all set out to accomplish something with our MV’s in one day. More often than not you only get maybe half of that actually accomplished due to set backs. Today not only did we meet our goal, but we exceeded that goal. B would be proud to see it moving under its own...

It’s not very often I feel like I can contribute something of substance to this site. But I’m glade you were able to take away something handy from my design. Kinda makes the time and money spent worth it when it benefits others also.

Good deal. Im glade it’ worked out for you! Once you get it built it’s surprisingly easy to set up isn’t it?

You know that’s not the first time I’ve heard that. If you think Teflon tape is sufficient enough for a leak down test I’m certainly willing to give it a try. I do try to open all the cylinders except the one I am testing if I can. How long do you hold a leak down test? If it’s not the IP...

Thanks! It’s actually filthy right now, looked a lot better during the KILO 19. I get lots of compliments on that. Those are some steel plates I made. They are supposed to be eyebrows. You’ve seen jeeps with that “Mean” look. That’s how they achieve that look. By giving the head lights that...

I have no doubt you are spot on. 10 degree variation. Which seem like a lot to me for a manufacturer’s tolerance. I may have figured out a work around, testing it will prove/disprove my theory. After the fact perhaps I’ll have some info I can contribute. I appreciate the input gents.

It was dark when I got home. Sorry for the crappy phone pics. If these suck too bad I can take some good ones this weekend. I hate to even post these pics. But I am a man of my word. So here they are.

I’ll try to get some pics for y’all when I get home. To better explain the grey areas.

I didn’t really think it was a big deal at all. I had a problem and I solved it. But lots of people have asked me about it or wanted me to make them one. It’s finding time to type it all up is the biggest problem for me. Just make sure I get the royalties rofl

I don’t want to highjack the OP thread here. But since my bed cover design was mentioned here I’ll post it here on how I made it, design and testing. The Design: I wanted a shade cover that was durable yet light weight and easily stored on the truck. Something that could de used as a bed cover...

I actually spent a couple of hours looking for a dimensional drawing both here and on the net. Best I could come up with were Champion glow plug specs from their site. Like you I want to say I’ve seen a dimensional drawing. But I don’t recall where and if the sealing angle degrees were listed as...

Has anyone ever accurately measured the angle (+/- 1 degree). Of the sealing surface on glow plugs? The angled part of the glow plug body that seals on the copper washer. Or does anyone have the ability to accurately measure it in degrees? My attempt to measure 4 different glow plugs returned 4...
