I've been looking for a seat myself and this came across on the OG site... I looked into Eidos chairs as well, marketed towards aerospace, made in the US. The model 106 has a hydraulic cylinder and similar specs to Vyper (the base is more compact) its ~$400 + shipping.

Necro'ing this thread... was looking for an alternate pad spreader. I have one like the Kukko, but it requires an old set of pads to do multi-piston calipers as the jaws are narrow. I so this from SO: https://shop.snapon.com/product/Disc-Brake-Tools/Brake-Caliper-Press-(Blue-Point)/BTCP1 and...

Any examples or suggestions on setup? I'm seeing setups with coalescing/desiccant filter/regulator... not seeing the cyclonic.

Talking spots, after wire-wheeling like this:

We have one of these speed blasters... just makes a mess and like I said, not looking to go down that path (right or wrong).

Like Ospho or Metal-Ready? No issues, with OTC primers. Should I avoid self-etch primers if going over rust-convertor?

Yes, there are "small" handheld blasters... I know, I know but I don't want to rabbit hole into a resto-project on a DD. I want to do it good, not perfect. The rust I'm speaking of is very minimal... that's why I have the dilemma.

So here the question for the forum: How do you deal with small rusty areas (e.g. underbody and "finish appearance" isn't super critical) that are surrounded by good paint and the rust is mostly superficial and can be wire-wheeled to about 90% off? In the past I would scrape and wire-wheel as...

Had a Bissel green machine for years, which worked okay... could have used more suction. Need care when doing whole carpets or seats, only in warm temps and lots of ventilation required to dry. I was considering getting a more commercial unit, like these...

Depends on the outdoor temp... if its nearing as cold as it will get in your area, then the run times seem short. You could try adjusting CPH or anticipator on thermostat to play with runtimes. You should also record how long between calls for heat.

Setbacks don't always save on fuel. Generally the longer the setback the more the savings. Sometimes you just need to try and see... it would likely take a full season to determine. Ideally you track your usage with daily outdoor temps (heating degree days), as colder days will obviously use...

Sterling 45k Natural Gas 850 sqft foot shop (14' ceilings), 2x6 R20 walls, R30 ceiling, 2 OHDs insulated, no slab/stem wall insulation 60* 24/7 Its only been a month since install, ~ $88... which surprised me. However our house heatloss is ~25k and the garage is tracking towards 18k...

PH0 appears bigger than PH1

I like matte... for durability in the garage I used BM Scuff-X (light grey) on the lower part of the walls. The remainder (upper walls and ceiling) is their ultra-spec low-sheen (white). My local BM is good and I've used them for all my paint needs. They recommended the scuff-x for durability...

I filled the joints with Sika SL after applying polyurea over a month ago.
