Wow! Great knowledge and system designs. Talk about information overload! I have a question though. I see some copying a premade wall mount system with components from Menards. Those have two pumps with one zone. Then I see nice systems with only one pump and one zone. Why the two two pumps vs...

Here's a picture. Anybody have any answers for my above questions? I'd like to try and install this weekend.

Scored a circa 2004 Omega LTE 5 air dryer the other day for big fat zero dollars. :rocker: Not too much info on this unit on the innerwebs. Couple questions though. Is this a decent dryer? Where in the system should it be installed? Do I have to leave it plugged in all the time or just when I...

That IS a score!

Flap disk on a 4 1/2" grinder and or 3" sanding disk on a die grinder will work well.

Vehicle is just a daily driver. Want to take a replacement set of bushings that come with new steel sleeves, and install new steel sleeves that accept the larger M16 bolt. Just wondering what the steel is that is in the bushing kit. Thanks for the explanation rsanter.

Hey all! Wanted to run something by you all and get some opinions. I'm thinking of buying new control arm bushings, removing the steel insert, drilling the polyurethane out to the OD of a new larger steel insert and inserting the new steel insert inside the polyurethane bushing. Are these...

I sent you a PM Claude/Nastyzen. My cross member is similar to Flatout but beefier. I've been doing a bit of thinking and another option I have been thinking about is using 1.25" solid round bar and drilling and tapping it to M14 or M18 and using a hardened bolt on either end.

Well. I called a few hydraulic places and all said that they never order in new tie rods. They didn't sound that interested i pursuing the request any farther. Spring shops said they only use mild steel for the u bolts. Called a few fastener manufacturers in my province and all said that they...

Thanks for the idea's guy's. Never thought of a hydraulic or spring shop. Here's a few pics of the project. Been asked for some pictures. What it looked like when I got it. Starting teardown Complete 1990 C4 Corvette IFS My youngest helping me pull the engine that ran and drove...

The threads don't need to be left handed I don't think. Was thinking of using nylock nuts. Yes the stud has to be strong as it holds the lower control arm on to the cross member. Attached is a picture of the long bolt/stud I'm talking about that attaches the lower control arm.

Working on a C4 Corvette cross member build and need two 1/2" studs 18" long threaded 2" in on each end. These are needed for the lower control arms. I can't seem to find any. Could I make my own? If I did make my own, would they be strong enough?

What's your thoughts on using Chassis Saver or Por15 in those areas? Not sure what to do.

Thanks Robert. Do you top coat the green primer with anything before an area is welded closed for good?

That's a shame.......A bit more added work. You'll buff it right out. A bit off topic but what is that green paint/primer you use on your body patch panels? I'm to the point on my 51 chev truck that I think I need to coat the inside of the cowl panels etc with something to prevent corrosion.
