Hello all, it's been some time since I've been on the thread! Lots of new folks and that's great to see! I'm having an issue and in hoping someone can help? I purchased a post vise (80lbs.) on ebay with the "local pickup only" because I was advised by a truck driver I work with,"go ahead and...

Does this help? I can't get much on the other side

I took these two last night before the phone died, if you need more or better pics please let me know,I appreciate the help, thanks, Tom

Here is the tank badge and these are the only markings on the compressor, can someone give me any more info on it? Rag: thanks for the info,I think you might be right but nothing else was included with it but the motor/computer/tank? Would it be ok just to "lung" it up with some tubing or is...

Hello all! I purchased this a few months ago in pieces. It didn't include air lines and I need help on finding out what order they go? The smaller (piston) area is at the top of the pic, which ***** in on the left port, and out on the right. The larger piston is below the intake. But when I spin...

Hi again all. This is one of two fixed jaw Reed vises that I have been restoring. I don't have any better photos but there were two 3/8" chips out of the jaws. Special thanks to Kevin Scott who mailed me a bunch of different rods to try out to repair the chips. I brought the vises to a friend...

CRS: Thanks, I'm with you, from the point I acquired that Tiger. I'm critical about the nut/way interface, and screw/nut interface (I had one that was stretched? ? ) lastly, the lambs tongue (dj support) can have cracks on certain vises. Glad you passed on it... <a...

Drives: I didn't have Ritzblitz make any part other than the hold down. I took allot of measurements so as to allow more of a sliding surface for the dj to slide on, also, to mate both the rear part of the nut and the front part of the hold-down bar at even 45°, with very little/no daylight in...

CRS: I apologize on the chiding you our anybody else. I now see my error. I suppose I was trying to give an excuse for an improper restoration before anybody else did. I've found that on some of these boards there can be someone who gets a thrill in pointing out improper techniques and the like...

Drives, I can't imagine carrying a 4C anywhere! I think I dragged mine to a rolling cart in separate pieces and then off loaded them directly to the already awaiting corner of my bench. I'm still after a 3C if anybody wants to sell me one they can pm me with they're price and pics. I can't...

Thanks,I guess it worked! Great plan, it sounds like you know what your doing. I'm sure it will come out stellar. :thumbup:

Jrobb, my 2C arrived with the swivel bolt missing! EOC Jason sent me a cad drawing of his to copy and ritzblitz made me a new one. However, there was no issue with the static threads. You'd be best to ask someone on this board to mail you a tap to borrow, or at the very least grind off a slice...
