    Pistons

    We use Ross pistons in everything from street applications to race engines. There is a whole lot more to a piston than just machining it to fit. Placement of the rings, gas ports (if applicable), etc. The pistons are designed for specific applications, so a naturally aspirated piston is not...

    Nylon Washer Source

    Thanks for your offer, I really appreciate it. I wish I had some of the nylon or Delrin stock, and I would turn it down on my lathe.

    Nylon Washer Source

    This is actually a bulkhead fitting, and it is leaking around the area where the fitting goes into the fuel cell. They come with a nylon washer, but the washer needs to be a little bigger to seal. I will check with Ace (my local Ace is not the greatest), and if not, the link above will get me...

    Nylon Washer Source

    Yes, it would be a critical part because it is for the fuel system. I have a leak around the edge of a fitting on my car's fuel cell, which should be easily fixed with these washers.

    Nylon Washer Source

    I am needing a source for a size 1.125 nylon washer. I basically need an I.D. of 1.065 inch. I only need 2 of these, so a retail source would be fine as I would hate to have to order $100 worth of washers for a minimum order.

    padlock lockbox for swinging gate.

    I have seen these on gates before. They were basically a three sided box that the lock went inside, which protected it from being cut.

    WTB: SO, MAC, Matco screwdriver set

    I am looking for a set of Snap-on, MAC, or Matco soft handle screwdrivers. I am not looking for any particular color, but not looking for a "fad" color that only raises the price.

    Lot survey cost?

    Pull the deed to the property. It will state something like "from a pin located ***** follow a north, south, etc bearing for x number of feet to another pin". You should be able to see the markers off of those directions. I always try to go back 3 sales on the deeds, you may find a survey of...

    Pawn Shop Haul #5

    You know, the most important thing that you have said on here was overlooked. You spent time with your son sorting through your haul, and that is priceless.

    Welding Cast Aluminum ?

    I think that one of the key factors is going to be how much stress will be put on the part after the repair.
