    Ebay V Amazon

    I noticed when people recommend items and add a link some members add a Ebay link and other members add a Amazon link. I am curious as to why members have a preference for Amazon or Ebay. IMO Ebay finds what i want far easier without adding too many things unrelated that i have no interest in...

    I'm almost certain I just bought a Mexican Mach 1

    Get yourself one of those (dont know correct name) snake cameras so you can look inside the tank and check for rust. Remove fuel line from tank and carb end and blow fuel lines out. Drain the tank and put new fuel in. Put new points in. I would personally put new plugs in and pressure test while...

    Snap-On and Teng Spanners & Sockets

    When Americans and British made nuts and bolts pre metric The distance between each thread was a lot closer on American threads. So if you measured a American bolt measuring 1 inch you would find a lot more threads than was on a British 1 inch bolt which is why AF, here in the UK, was called...

    AHA!!!! SAE. Thank You for the American name for AF, or American Finethread as we British call it The past 3 years on this site has been a time of big learning. Everyday English spoken by Americans and British makes it very easy to understand each other. However over the past 3 years of being a...

    Fabrice's 429CJ 71 project

    Those oblong holes should have a piece of plastic in them that the trim attaches to but its just a oblong hole. The bits missing from the oblong holes are very very fragile and very difficult to remove trim without breaking brittle plastic

    Snap-On and Teng Spanners & Sockets

    Chuck, those look good value but all metric. I got metric but they dont fit as well as AF spanners. Its hard to find a set thats AF only. Most companies do a mix of both. I did find these which are all AF with a mix of spanners and sockets. Only drawback no ratchets but thats not the end of the...
