    Drilling out rivets from alu sheet

    There are tools that help keep the bit centered around the rivet head. Works pretty well. https://www.mcmaster.com/90112a600

    Nice cart! You're making your kids playset out of titanium? Came out excellent.

    I agree that an RX-8 with an LS would be excellent and I would have no qualms about such a swap. If there was an easy solution for the CAN communication with the factory dash I may have done it to mine already. :lol: Funny you mention that. My office mate just took delivery of his '17 SS.

    You won't regret it :beer:

    Thanks. No regrets so far. Personally I think it looks much cleaner when you install in two individual pits. If a hydraulic cylinder were to fail in the down position I would most likely be able to get a strap under it and lift the platform up. If that didn't work for whatever reason I could...

    Gotcha. It's not a bad idea that would be pretty simple to implement. Aluminum plate, with aluminum angle welded to the underside to catch the edges of the pits and "lock it in" to the hole is probably how I would tackle it. Maybe in the future. :rocker:

    In-floor Scissor Lift Install

    One thing to keep in mind is that the transmission jack will 3 wheel no problem. If you drop one wheel over the pit you wouldn't even notice it. If you drop two wheels over then you would have issues. Yes I could have probably spaced the lifts farther apart, I simply followed the manufacturers...

    Quick update of where the garage is currently. Been slowly moving things over as I need them. Got my blast cabinet, belt sander, work benches, tool boxes, and bench grinder moved over. The shop is still pretty messy. I need to get the drywall up so I can put my cabinets up and get some of the...

    Got a few more Ko-Ken items. As always the fit and finish on these is phenomenal.

    Inverter location: dedicated cart or table shelf?

    Another vote for option A. It's always nice to be able to move your welder assembly to where you need it when your leads aren't long enough.

    Agreed, you should be in good shape. Not sure what you're referring to, but I haven't built anything to cover the lift pits :dunno: To be honest haven't really felt the need.

    Had my first "major" maintenance project in the garage this weekend doing the clutch on my RX-8. The lifts worked out awesome!
