McTinkerson posted:Yay! You got the trolley. If you were so inclined, lube up the casters really good and then grab a cheetah. You could probably ride it across your shop. Switch delivered it ages ago, it's just been buried in parts in the old garage and probably wasn't visible, still, thanks man! Also I got the one with really dicky casters, so I need to replace them. (any suggestions on which ones to buy?)

These might actually be your best bet. You could then use it as a pit cart / on not perfectly smooth surfaces.

Agreed. I actually deal with casters as well and take my advice that if you go with a "tire" style like that, get foam filled ones if they arent automatically. Nothing worse than having flats on your casters.

Ok so, I took the caster off, but it appears that a full replacement unit isn't gonna work, or at least not well. First off the flanges are custom, because airplanes, and gently caress off the shelf parts am I right? Also they have these little spring tenons in the centre of the lazy susan bearing assembly, which actuates the little brake against the wheel. Since the brake is one of the coolest parts about this cart, I want that to keep working. So, replace the wheels. I had to drill out the centre hole, because the bolt is also custom.  Which was good, because seriously look at the old ones  Thanks for 30 years of air hostess hair leavings and squeezings McTinkerson

Just get brakes on one or two of the new casters and remove the unicorn breaking (AM I RITE??) system on the carts. What's the dia of the wheel and plate? Also, because of where I am, you might want to visit your resident junk store with the initials of P.A. - the might stock them...or something close... and save you the freight from me.

I went to But the brakes are actuated by the red and green anodized foot pedals on the bottom of the cart there, all four wheels get braced at once, and that's way too neat to replace with caster brakes.

On mine at least the action on the pedals is pretty poo poo. I would assume that's why they were removed from active service in the first place.

Too complicated and the bolts are loving impossible to get at, trying to do it in a field would be a nightmare. How to change a toyota timing belt part one by Slung Blade age 8: Step one, remove power steering reservoir. Plug line with a 3/8ths socket extension, use baling wire to hold second line back, plug with paper towel.  Step two: remove engine mount. This one doesn't look too horrible, I guess.  Step the third: Break the fragile-like-glass wire conduit that runs behind the alternator.  A bunch of assholes at Toyota in the late 80s posted:Engineer: Hey how about we put a plastic that becomes super brittle under thermal load right next to the exhaust manifold? Step 4: Admire your workspace. Ahh.   Step 5: rattle gun your harmonic balancer bolt off.  Step six: Use the balancer puller to remov... uh, where are the threads for the puller?   Toyotaaaa Step seven: put the bolt back loosely and use the jaw pullers instead. Whatever.  Step eight: now that everything is out of the way, remove the eight hundred different timing covers and take a look at that belt!   huh, guess it was due.Seat Safety Switch via googlechat posted:Holy poo poo Step nine: uhhh  Step ten: mark the cogs and teeth so you can line this poo poo back up again on the new belt.   Step eleven: go mow your lawn because jfc it's going to rain tomorrow and it's like 40cm tall. Pick this up again later.

I've always cut the belt in half longways by turning the engine over with a breaker bar. Slide off the outside half and slide the new belt on. Of course if you're replacing tensioners and stuff this gets more difficult.

I looked for short buses and Winebagos, couldn't find poo poo for $<=1000. As for points breakdown for the limo: RWD + 100pts Engine cylinder count > 6 +50pts Doors of vehicle > 5 +50pts "Exotic" aka anything British for instance +100pts ~+300 points. That being said - all points assignments are at the discretion of all AI readers who are not participating.

The Limo may or may not have belonged to a friend of mine who lived in Canada for a while and used it to get to the ski slopes for a season or two. he now owns a school bus that he fitted out as an RV to travel around with his girlfriend in. He actually looks like Otto from the Simpsons.

I'm surprised that there's almost no oil glazing in the channels, that's pretty great.  loving camshaft seal. All the shaft seals were rock hard and a total bitch to extract.  Crank seal out. I broke the new one we had, and SSSwitch and I had to run into Airdrie to get a spare. It wasn't all bad, we also got five guys' burgers while in town. Still felt like a doof though.   gasket Alright, let's install this water pump!  gently caress. I wasn't even torquing it, I swear.  I had the vise grips all ready to go, but thank goodness I could thread it out with just my fingers. HAIL SATAN, I HAVE BUILT THIS TEMPLE TO HONOUR THEE AND YOU HAVE REWARDED ME WITH THIS BOON  Kit came with a couple spares so I could improvise a bit. Weird it didn't come with all new bolts though...  New belt in, I copied the marks over from the old belt and made sure the tensioner had all the slack. Calling that good enough.

ExecuDork posted:Ooooh... 3 new updates in the wedding-rally thread! Lesseee... Shamelessly stolen from Instagram:  I forgot to hit the battery tray with Corroseal during the first round of coating. That has now been rectified.  Like the rest of the body, every panel received it's second coat of rust converter.  All wing mounts have been repaired. Not pictured: Wing mounting holes drilled in the body. I'll need to hit Fastenal for a pair of 35mm long M4 button head bolts for the front wing mounts. The wing can now be painted.  CAD by yours truly.  Traced out on to the hood.  And cut out with Dorito Powers angle grinder. Went through 4 cutting disks. At this point it was 2200 and since it's Sunday, I'll have to resume the final trimming of each panel tomorrow evening (or which ever evening I can squeeze some time in this week). I'm doing my best not to piss off my direct neighbours too much since they all have school ages children. You bet your rear end they're all getting rides in this thing once it's done.  Reviewing the list, what have I not completed?
I do believe that I have earned this Jameson sitting before me. Time to watch the latest Roadkill.

It's hard for me to post pictures of failing to put the oil-swollen timing cover with bent bolts back onto the Celica, but let's see if I can pull some pictures out of me yelling at Slung Blade over Hangouts. From about 10 am to about 4 pm, this was my world:  loving GET IN THERE WHY WON'T YOU SLIDE ONTO THE LOWER COVER  (3:00 pm, after finally just redoing the bottom cover and realizing one of the washers fell out and was rust-welded to the block) ok now it's in but why won't the bolts thread  (3:50 pm) oh I feel sorta dumb since I should've just taken the rear cover off sometime around hour 1 of fighting with the top cover instead of trying various arrangements of power steering line and cursing to make it work. Even after I get fresh bolts in, it's still going to be a fight getting the cover to line up on the top captive nuts. They're too low by like two mil and there's no way to shift that cover without rubbing up against the engine mount boss.

Thanks for lying to make me feel better. Pretty sure previous timing belt changer sat on this cover while brapping an impact until it caught and then riding it out. The captive nuts are pretty dinged up as well. Every dealer says new bolts are at least a week out so I might bounce out of work early some time this week and take the impact and power cussing to Pick N Pull.
