JB Weld worked fine. Clamp it up overnight.

Funny you should ask this. I'm gluing a pair of magnets to a piece of aluminum stock with JB Weld even as we speak. I'll let you know tomorrow how well it works.

Okay. As soon as I'm back from work, I'm getting under the car with a torque wrench. Progress pictures to follow.

That's kind. I've looked at some ways up there. I probably could find some way, maybe even without plummeting onto my aluminum hood. :eek: But, truth be told, it'll be simpler just to get the 928 buttoned up and move it out of the way.

I aim to contain it outside my workshop.

That might help. :bounce: I look forward to posting images of the entire space, with all vehicles in their proper position.

Here's a picture of my garage workshop (the back bay of the tandem side of my 3-car garage): That picture is a couple of years old. You can see the clutter on the counter, which is how it always begins. Now the 928 is up on jack stands for a timing-belt job that turned into a list of WYAITs as...

That's even farther to the left on the chart from Cadmium than Zinc is.

It's mostly Reynolds 490. The Cadmium is, as I understand it, sacrificial. So after 23 years (most spent in the northeastern US), corrosion had worked its way down to the steel. "Only 23 years" was a bit tongue-in-cheek—if my replated fasteners look that good after 23 years, I'll be content...

Bump?

The steel fasteners on my 928 are cadmium plated. Where they go into aluminum, will there be a problem using zinc antiseize? (The original fasteners—Cd-to-Al, with no Zn—were cruddy with corrosion after only 23 years.) Thanks, Mark

This would fit here or here or maybe here. If someone is looking for a solution to the water pooling in his garage because his slab slopes the wrong, do you think he's more likely to go to a thread entitled, "Poor slab angle, now water pooling issues" or to one entitled, "Great Garage Ideas...

Normal people do not talk like this: "this is the place we can help one another making YOUR garage a great space for you and your family!" It sounds a lot like advertising-speak to me. This is the sort of thing that can happen when you offshore your online marketing.

That appears to be just the ticket. I'll try it. Thanks.

I buy my Royal Purple via Amazon in 5-gallon jugs like this one: Here's a fuzzy closeup of the spout: Any suggestions for a pump or spigot that would screw into those threads, so that I can more easily decant oil from the 5-gallon jug to smaller containers?
