Bajaha posted:Spoiler shows as out for delivery so hopefully it made it one piece. The corners looked like they might be fragile Dude that rules. You definitely packed it right. There's a crack in one corner but the corner's not missing! I'm going to bondo it up (or wrap it in CF strips?) this summer and maybe throw it on. It's in way nicer condition than both my stock and junkyard wings! Thank you!!

I got a super-heavy, taped up package from the indomitable kastein today! Let's see what's inside.  A Genuine AMC piston out of the 4.0 that was in the Toilet XJ  Some shop towels, so I don't get that on my bedspread  Orange Goop, so I can clean my hands after handling it  A Harbor Freight extendable ratchet! Awesome!  Magnetic parts tray, nice nice   Last but not least, an adorable PCB for a CANbus to LINbus adapter that he designed! The holes at the top look adorably like a Jeep's grill, but I'm told that's unintentional.  Thank you, kastein! Safety Dance fucked around with this message at 04:08 on Dec 18, 2015 |

SouthsideSaint posted:Santee usps says your package was delivered to the door and or front porch....I hope you were there to receive it..... Package received! I was wondering what the mightily large box was for today, thought it was a tad too big for the Bus' transmission seal I ordered. This is some absolutely wonderful stuff, SouthsideSaint - I was expecting broken bits and maybe a card, and received some brilliant Volkswageny things instead  I was thankfully reassured that the box did not contain a Chuck Norris designed exhaust system  Look at all this kick arse stuff!   I can now officially be the only bus guy at VW shows with a custom matching hat  I will wear this thing everywhere.  A wonderful tool I never knew existed outside of wrench bits - This most assuredly will be involved in Saturday's super fun bus engine fixy time. No more painful engine tin removal for me, no sir.  Look at this crafty rebuild of parts. Once, long ago, these use to power some sort of Ford engine. Now it is a proud stand of German engineering that will join me and the bus in my travels  I can also assure you these will see the open roads on our travels - We love jewelry like this. Thank you!  Look at these adorable little magnets - I found a spot for them on the Westy fridge in the bus   Basically this is how I look holding all my gifts today (Except now with a hat!) with a big smile. Thank you ever so much, SouthsideSaint - You truly surprised me with how great these gifts are.  I realised as well the mini screwdriver snuck out of the picture - It's in the mini glovebox-toolbox for just such an occasion! PhoenixWing fucked around with this message at 04:21 on Dec 18, 2015 |

Awww yeah I'm glad you got it. That vw scrap art is ford flathead valves chevy fuel pump lock ring and 351 Cleveland lifters. My wife was super nervous you wouldn't like the hat. And it is "custom" as in my wife looked at a pic of the bus and crocheted it.

Dear Santa, letting you know ahead of time that I fly out on Wednesday so if it doesn't get here before then it'll be January before I can post pics. The neighbors will be watching for packages though so don't worry about it getting stolen.

Safety Dance posted:I got a super-heavy, taped up package from the indomitable kastein today! Glad you like it dude! Merry christmas. I wanted to find something more vehicle specific but your jeep is a lot less broken than mine so I don't know what it needs, and the local yards don't really have anything for TJs anyways. Here's how to populate the board, should you ever desire to:  I designed it originally to swap a set of Ford Focus (late model - the same exact ones Bosch calls their Bosch WDA wiper motors - you can find them on rockauto for about 120 apiece, if the preset start/stop angles work for you) wiper motors into a custom vehicle, but then we ended up scrapping that plan and using a completely different motor, so the boards were due to be thrown out and the design files are basically worthless to us. Here are the parts to use: C1 - 10uF 0603 ceramic, 10V rating or higher C2, C3, C6 - 10nF 0402 ceramic, 10V rating or higher C4, C8 - 100nF 0402 ceramic. C8 needs to be at least 16V rated (preferably 25V) but C4 can be 10V C5, C7 - 33nF 0402 ceramic, 10V rating or higher F1 - 2920 package polyfuse, or a piece of wire if you like to live dangerously. Choose a rating appropriate for the current draw you measure L1 - 10uH 0603 ferrite bead R1, R2 - 10k 0402 resistor. Omit R1 if using an MCP2651FD CAN transceiver. U1 - MCP2551 or MCP2651FD CAN transceiver, SOIC8 package. U2 - ATMEGA32M1 or any ATMega with the same footprint (16C1, 16M1, 32C1, 32M1, 64C1, 64M1, etc) U3 - ATA6631 combination LIN transceiver & voltage regulator Y1 - ECS-3951M-120-BN-TR crystal oscillator from digikey There are test pads for VDD, VSS, and #RESET so that you can use debugWIRE for ICE debug/programming. The #RESET one is closest to one corner of the MCU and square, VSS is next to it, VDD is over near U3, all on the top layer. 5 pin bus connector pinout, right to left, in your picture, is CAN+, CAN-, GND, LIN, and 12V power. It will actually run off any voltage that the ATA6631 datasheet allows, as long as you upgrade C8 to suit, I just designed the board with a 12V automotive system in mind.

I apparently got a package a couple days ago, but wasn't told about it until last night when my son said,"Oh yeah.. This came yesterday." And it's amazing!!! The first thing I saw when I opened it was this note:  The note was great, I haven't had to work on my Goddamn BMW Cooling System(tm) yet, but I'm sure that's in the works.. The only thing I've had to do so far was replace the radiator fan.. 3 times in a year.. GODDAMN BMW COOLING SYSTEM!!! And then I checked out the rest of the items:  The card was awesome and my daughters favorite part. The housing assembly and thermostat is a bit foreshadowing of my future, but also an amazing head start into replacing probably the most failure prone component after my radiator fan, so thank you!! The lintless towels are great and I was actually going to grab some this weekend so that saved me a trip, and I'm wearing the t-shirt at work today so all in all it was an astounding package. THANK YOU BRIGDH FOR THE WONDERFUL SWAG!!!

This is kickass!    It has the laser cut note on the back, too. Also, someone has been reading about my oil leak whining, apparently.  I'm taking this as a challenge, bottle.  Somebody understands that I don't exactly know how to use an angle grinder without shattering wheels just yet.  Placing it next to one of last year's AISS gifts begins to imply something.  Thanks, mafoose!

meatpotato posted:^^^ Nice Model M keyboard  I just got home from work.Its heavy, that must mean its good stuff!  Oh no, bees!  I thought these were exhaust tips for half a second. What they are is so much better  Its a bunch of awesome california beer! Siamese Twin Ale, Golden State Cider, and Santa Crus Ale Works IPA. Chilling in the fridge now!  Some awesome gloves. I feel like I should go racing with these or something.  Safety glasses. I don't know if you've seen me post about it but I started working on exhaust stuff this year and I always curse myself for not having any of these when Im under my rusty cars. Super useful thanks!  However, I have questions about these tissues.  Some sort of flower kiss candy. Doesn't taste very flowery, but looks like one. Neat! Plus a kinder egg, which I've never had.  And the whole haul  Thanks so much meatpotato. Everything is awesome and you are the best! Merry christmas! PS - Sorry you had to ship that across the entire coast.

Boaz MacPhereson posted:Man, I don't even know what my Santee drives. He posted in the 'post your rides' thread, but it's years old at this point. Canadians ride moose, right? So he could probably use a moose harness or something?  Anyways, I had a little slip show up in my PO Box to pick up a package. Stopped into the post office and sure enough it was my AISS present. Got a lot of rad stuff too! Pics:    ^Microfiber cloths from the mysterious Harbor Freight I hear so much about  ^Jegs catalog and Summit stickers!  ^Never had one of these before, I used to just throw bolts/nuts on the wiper cowl. That's probably why I'd lose all kinds of poo poo  ^A big poo poo-knocker of a hammer  ^Kick rear end magnetic LED lights. The triangle hazard flasher is guaranteed to come in handy  ^Fuel gauge from Boaz's Nova  ^Murica wife beater Thanks Boaz! The note was awesome and the wife beater is fuckin hilarious!
