I get it; so it should be two bars crossed, so it can 'spin" open-and-closed, like a paddle, right?

Reading your saga, jpg, makes me so glad this isn't my project. :mrgreen: But I'm loving reading about your build. You're getting it done; hang tough!

That's not as bad as jury-rigging brake components; but it is still a sort of a dodge of a bullet. Almost criminal. But s--- happens doesn't it. Glad it worked out OK.

Plus you also have a backboard (and hope that you never need it; but if you do, there it is doubling as a table top). That's pretty slick!

You might have to franchise; go global. :mrgreen:

You all might need to start a club. :mrgreen:

Shoot, you're getting to be the nationwide expert on the M1010's from all of your work here. I don't know what the market would be for these, completely outfitted, but you might be able to make it a career! IF you even wanted to. I mean, who knows!?

"Memorable". Now THAT is a choice word for the occasion. I've got to remember it. It's THE way to describe anything you survive that you might not expect to otherwise. You're made of good stuff, tim292. [thumbzup]

Not good. I'm glad you're here to tell that story. Love to hear more detail BTW. Was the "landing" smooth!?

Maybe it's a lesson-learned here: - They can't be tightened and forgotten. I'm guessing wheel nuts are always going to be susceptible to moving, and maybe we should all treat them that way. Nothing to lose if you do. But a whole LOT to lose if you don't (including the whole wheel; NOT good)...

I recall at least one other thread that dealt with the issue of anti-seize on lug nut threads. Can't remember the final outcome of the discussion (or even if anything conclusive settled out if it). As I recall, it was a toss-up between the "never's" and the "ok's". But somebody here might...

I guess I should know but I confess that I don't: - What is "RTV", some self-sealing mastic of some kind or something? Also who won the game!?

Is a "house bank" just another way to say distribution outlets?

Yes, that WOULD have been bad; never would have thought to mention it to the bud. But you're right.

An additional $3-$4/ month, for the added service, sure seems pretty reasonable.

That was a bad day for sure on a whole lot of levels. I'm a big believer in Roadside Assistance, but of course you need to be on a road to get the assistance (i.e., off-road, and you're "up the creek"). Also keep in mind the Catch-22 of all insurance (even the roadside assistance): - you pay...

That's the funny thing about learning though: - The easy lessons you might tend to forget now and then But the HARD and merciless lessons you just never forget. And that has it's good sides. And its bad sides, you know? (PS "Calibrated Thumb Method"; that's pretty funny!)

I'm TRYING to keep up, but I'm thinking: - Might be Time for a Tutor

You are right, absolutely right. In fact, I picked up my welding at the local Community College (Northern Virginia Community College, NOVA). It's just like, "WAAAAAAN, I don't wanna go to school!" Say, we're not drifting here or anything, are we!?

jpg, your whole explanation here is completely understandable (which isn't always the case with electrical explanations): - You could be a professor of Electrology!
