    Anyone make alternate uses of this bracket?

    Re: Anyone make alternate uses of this bracket????? I have seen good results from using epoxy to secure a strong (45 lbs) rare earth magnet to the underside of the dash.

    28MT replacement starter

    I bought one of the cheapo ones from ebay about a year ago and it has worked great. And I am abusing the crap out of it because my check valve on top of my IP is leaking so every morning I have to crank it for 20 or 30 sec to get fuel back up to the pump. I was initially apprehensive but it has...

It's easy to get to in a hurry but when sitting in the drivers...
