Glad to hear he is doing alright!

Nice!

Nice!  Hope you all had an excellent day today.

Random C4 info…

I didn’t drill any holes, made stainless brackets that mounted to existing fasteners.  Was a bit of a pain!

I know it isn’t for everyone but I plan on driving it to a local show next weekend and wanted some sort of chip prevention.  The urethane Rallyarmor material was interesting to cut.

My GMC that I sold in 21’

Love the fresh out of the wrecking yard parts on the bench!

Terry,
Are you close enough to get his family some cash?  I’d like to donate a bit for takeout / hotel / whatever other costs they are accruing while he is recovering.

 
No I'm about 6 hours away.  I'm not sure they would have a way to get donations.  I'll check with Diana and see

Appreciate you checking in with her.  Post up or PM what you find out.

WIDIA GTD makes good taps.  I use only high speed steel taps, and toss them when dull.  It isn’t worth the risk of breaking one trying to wring every last cent out of it.

McMaster-Carr sells WIDA and other good quality cutting tools.

I have the pair of crimpers from American.  One is for single wire terminations the other is for two wire (daisy chain) style where you have two wires side by side in one termination.

Each crimp is three step.  One action uses the larger die to start the roll form of the flat ears over the conductors.  The smaller die is then used to finish the crimp.  Lastly the large die is used to form the 2nd set of ears over the wire insulation.  The terminals are NOT the barrel style like are used in many industrial applications (Burndy or States brand)

If you are not going to do any daisy chain style wiring you don’t need the blue handled crimpers. 

I’d lend mine out with some sort of collateral.

I was curious enough about the carb cheater to buy one.  If nothing else it is a stealth AFR gauge.

Hence my mustang!! Been driving it — haven’t made a change since the IL trip— still running  well except the turn signals not running well. Which I will fix sometime .

How are y’all!!??

And have you seen the new “Carb Cheater” made by Luke Finley (Thunderhead289) on YouTube? Very interested in it.. but also interested in thoughts .. :D

Hope to hear from y’all soon

So did the pilot end up being the correct diameter on the axles?

That is really cool.  Nicely done!
