Slow is Fast posted:After completely destroying a bench top vice (due to using it as a press with a jack handle) and buying my dad the best one they sell at sears, I completely understand the valve of a well built one. kastein posted:The rams out of those vans aren't anywhere near strong enough IMO. Those systems run at what, 2500psi maximum, with a piston diameter of ~1.25-1.5"? That's 4500lbs force per cylinder, even doubling all those numbers it wouldn't be as strong as my bottle jack is. Using a shop press manually is terrifying enough, what with the pumping, the hiding, the pumping some more and then the horrible explosion that makes everyone in a 5 mile radius hide in terror. With power, you would lose all feel for the work, which would be unsafe IMHO. It would be too easy to put way too much force on an object way too quickly. That being said, simple AC powered hydraulic reservoirs and pumps are available for car lifts, although those probably also don't generate the pressure necessary. Lifting a car is a lot different from concentrating 12 tons on a 1" wide point.

kastein posted:That is all far too far away from me. I wouldn't buy it if it was next door, though... Option 4 : http://www.amazon.com/Crown-Automotive-4713943-Steering-Column/dp/B008VPWBTY $105 Granted, it isn't a permanent upgrade, being OEM equivalent, but still. I tried like hell but I could NOT find the Borgeson any cheaper, though. I think I might actually attempt to rebuild the steering box in my XJ at some point, now that I see how cheap the rebuild kits are. drat.

Also here's a bonus 5 second video of the transmission being broken free with the clutch pedal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxn7JNJheFY

Seat Safety Switch posted:I'd suggest drones, but Ken will probably actually build one if I do. Clearly you haven't been to an neai meetup if you think a drone is necessary for this to be a risk.

Slow is Fast posted:Go find a webcam in the office and livestream this poo poo. The camera would be on for five minutes before a wave of pure rage blew it up. Also Kastein might single-handedly cause the FCC to begin regulating private streaming.

You know that fantasy everybody has, where you hit that virgin junkyard, with stock that has sat untouched for thirty years.. Kastein and I hit that junkyard today. We lived the dream. This *was* a "we-pull-it" that is now under new management and functioning as a "you-pull-it." Maybe, but this third gen vette isn't driving anywhere. Apparently this is where lovely VW kit cars go to die. Sucks for his girl. Mass residents will recognize these trailers: Hello random mustang..
