Hi Dave, thanks for your input. |Im not looking to fully heat my spaces up to 68degrees but just to take the edge off for the harshest 3 months. Just want to keep them at at 45 degrees . |I have 2 garages about 800 sq ft each. Any furthur thoughts. Thanks ,Mike

|Anyone out there have any experience with these Edenpure quartz heaters that are being touted recently? The larger model claims to cover 1000sq ft. Wondering how well they work and what the cost is to run them. Any info is most appreciated. Thanks Mike

The cars that I now own have some sentimental or historical value to me. I am working on a modified 66 Chevelle,first car I ever owned. I have a 76 Triumph tr6,first car I took my wife out on a date in,that sort of thing. I also have a 68 porsche 912,a 68 Buick Lesabre convertible,a 99 Corvette...

Eschoendorff,I have a number of old cars, one of which is a 1971Ferrari 365gtc4. It has a v12 with 6 side draft carbs and makes a fabulous sound. I used to pull wrenches for a living but that started before most of the guys on this board were born I suspect. [ afwrench ]= Air Force mechanic. Now...

Thank you gearhead. These are indeed the type I am looking for . These ones dont look as if they would hold up under a great amount of torque but I may contact them for more info . Thanks again .Mike

Yes , This is what the socket would look like . The nut/ fastener is on a vintage Ferrari . They use these nuts in a few spots. Some guys have ground old sockets to fit but I would like a set if possible.Thanks to all, Mike

The fastener would be female and the socket male . Much like those very large sockets used to take the hubs off 4wheel drive trucks.

Hate to sound stupid but I am having a senior momment and cant remember the right name. I am looking for sets ,standard and metric, of the sockets that have 4 or mabye 6 tangs or lugs on them that engage the cut outs in the nut . They look like the top of a turret on a castle . Wanted to take a...

I did the same thing with one of the doors . Im no door expert but it works fine. First I angle cut the tracks to mimic the roof pitch and the I got stronger springs, I have the type with long springs on either side. I adjusted the tension so when I release the lock the door rises about...

Thanks Luke, I placed an order , will see how it works. Regards Mike

Any help re, finding a new remote control for a Stanley door opener. The old one does not work due to corrosion. Tried through Stanley but they sold that part of the company and the new guys declared bankrupcy. Was able to fix one wire but the micro switch looks to be bad as well . Any thoughts?

This is what I did ,soory no pics. I have 3 bays,Two are under roof trusses, attic type for storage. The last bay I framed with rafters14 feet at the peak. Ihave 3 doors, the door to the bay with the lift I installed as normal but I angle cut the top tracks to follow the slope of the roof , used...

Snap on replacement This will be my last comment on this subject. How can you not think that ethics dont apply. You assumed that the tool was neglected and that he should clean it and then break it , if you think that is right then I think that you are wrong. If he bought a broken tool and the...

Snap on replacements While I am willing to concede a small gray area here , one person above feels he should clean the tool and the break it . Never be able to convince me that this is in any way ethical . Sounds to me like the guy bought something that was neglected and left to rot , now he is...

snap on replacements Call me an old poop but I dont like what I am reading here . You buy an old rusty box of stuff and want to get a new tool for it . You did not buy the thing in the first place , that is what a warranty is for . Look at the thread about guys wanting to have a tool route...
