Is it a glass sealed beam? Those windshield crack sealer kits work awesome on glass sealed beams. Makes the crack a lot less noticeable too. Look for the kind with the suction cups and plunger.

oh no poo poo? I'm gonna have to try that. its not a sealed beam, it uses a d1s HID bulb. http://www.trailtech.net/lighting/hid/8in-race-light-hid/3832-ex-00 I'm not (or can afford) buying another.

Traffic doesnt bother me too much.   David goes under the knife next week. they're gonna plate/screw/bolt most of his humerus.  I'm a cheap gently caress and gave refilling the fan clutch on the ford a go. appears to be the factory clutch too, and welp, it worked.   post doctors visit haul home on back roads. Took one of my local favorite routes home.

Nerve block has worn off.... he's now deep into misery land. went to grab some supplies for him and welp.  Truck wants to be touched some more. fine.    Loaded a blunderbuss of rubber parts up and fired it at the loving engine. New belts and coolant hoses. Now onto the alignment, and the rearend.  a precision cut stick + HF calipers. set for .7mm to in which translates to .039°. the spec is +/-.25°. whatever, I'm happy. Now for the next set of truck issues. slip yoke seal leaks, diff side U joint is failing, annd I noticed the pinion nut was backing off. Common problem for the early 10.25 diffs.   old out   new in. and now to the rearend. hahahaha. aahahahahaha. FML.   ere' buy this crush sleeve eliminator for a 9" and it'll fit right in AHAHAHAHA. Bullshit. 4 motherfuckin' hours machining metal off of it to get it exact.  Oh yeah, got one of the 6 cameras installed.   CSB BONUS SHAFT:

He has my sympathy. The worst pain in my life was when the nerve block wore off after having a broken arm fixed. I had a friend get me a fist full of oxys and a bottle of whiskey, because gently caress dealing with that poo poo.

I've managed to piss in the face of fate and probability for the last 31 years and avoid any broken parts or major injuries but I imagine that pain signals flooding back to previously disabled receptors is no loving picnic. CSB, take care of that dude and let him know that there's a bunch of Internet weirdos that hope he gets better sooner rather than later.

Fuckin' likewise. When the nerve block wore off after getting some screws in my leg, my wife told me I woke up moaning in pain. I suppose I'm lucky I don't remember that. Give him my best.

hokay so lots of not-bus poo poo going on. but this weekend I gotta prep this thing to move it next weekend so. First off. David was run over by a dieselgate passat. this means the owner has been found. This is all the information I'm giving at this time. Further more, in the post op today, it was found his fibula is fractured, but is healing ok at this point since he was laying flat for nearly a month straight. He also likely has a meniscus tear. He goes in for a MRI next week. Other fun recent poo poo: I fixed the horn/indicators and maybe the cruise on the ford.  Removed about 10lb of dirt from the switch. also note the column shaft is beat all to poo poo. its also more loose than my ex. anyway, horn works. OH SO NICE TO HAVE. gently caress YES. No more screaming at morons. Bike has been feeling the neglect so its been on a CSB Rape-a-thon. Last weekend I pulled the forks for a revalve + subtanks. The valving has been fuckt since I first built the fucker and never really felt a burning desire to dig into it. Now that I'm on it for 2 hours a day I'm over it bottoming out and beating me to death on bots dots.    This rendered the bike oh-so-nice to ride. Tuesday it rotted off a vacuum nipple leaving it fun to lanesplit with till I got around to fixing it. yesterday I hit a loving nail in SF. an hour or so after that the work HF compressor goes pop, and then the lovely HF mini went pop.  Tires almost done anyway, moreso since I rode it the last few miles to work on wet roads going fuckiittttttttttt and since I took today off to haul David to his Post-op I dropped into SF and grabbed the yellow rear end in a top hat.

cursedshitbox posted:Another good road, but no. Morgan territory rd Nice! I do a variation of that road every few weeks from Tracy over to Concord. The back road is much easier than dealing with the 580/680 east bay traffic clusterfuck. I can go from Modesto to Concord on the back road in a little over an hour vs an hour and a half taking the bay area freeway systems. Also, good to hear the other driver has been located and your dude is doing well!

6mos up, park rules say get out, okay so out we go! bus tires didnt loose any air, this is nice. it was 5 liters low on coolant though. stupid coolant pump. fucker fired right away. Brakes do need an adjustment like loving now, and theres some bullshit trolley valve air leak goin on in the dash. This gets fixed first thing tomorrow.  Loaded the bikes, davids bike sits almost vertical. it went napsy time and almost fell off the truck. I saved it by grabbing it by the skidplate.  Locked and loaded.   Parked on an exit not far from the park. another friend of ours happened to see us and insisted we go piss off his neighbors. sure why the hell not!   Not hearing anymore bitching about how people are unable to park little tiny shitboxes.

cursedshitbox posted:bullshit trolley valve air leak goin on in the dash. This gets fixed first thing tomorrow. haha yeah about this guy. Let my canadian lumberjack of a friend drive it, after laughing balls off for 20 minutes watching an experience trucker getting his rear end kicked by a cranky old bus. He was trying to figure out why the clutch brake wasnt co-operating. a firm slam of the clutch, and BOOM. knocked two airlines out of two valves. turns out that little air leak was the lines getting caught by the clutch pedal as was pushed. I don't have any photos, but some home depot ferrules and cutting a little nylon off the end corrected it, also made god drat sure to ziptie all that poo poo outta the way. I also have a working clutch brake again  brakes adjusted too! rears were all good. Front street side was in excess of DOT allowments, front curbside was tighter than all the rest. Found a little play in the draglink going from the steering box to the knuckle. Gonna bug Gillig about that on monday to see if they have one in a warehouse somewhere.  #justpothings.  this is the brake chamber for the street side rearmost axle. and yep, its missing a clip. I also am not a huge fan of none of these chambers having a washer behind the clip either.

Vacuum poo poo in general cleaned up Wiring rats nest cleaned up Rats nest itself removed. all underhood insulation disposed of.   loving. Gross.    Sooo much space without the fender liners! I want to copy these in metal someday so that I can actually stand on em while I work on this pile.     I just wrapped each strand with tape then wrapped the loom. this fall after classes start I'm planning to scratch build a harness for it with proper gauge wiring, relays, and fuses. Tons of PO fuckery also removed in the process. wtf dude...  Next round of repairs for this guy involves front shaft rebuild, real fuel filters, electric fuel pump, coolant filter + heatercore bypass. also sneak peek  Huge honkin freightshaker panel mounted. also have a schematic handy now.
