I don't think you need to overthink this one. It has few moving parts and they are slow moving so what type of lube you use is not a big deal. I just took this picture of my vise, I have been grinding rust off parts all day on or near it. It see's lots of metal grinding. You can see a couple...

Years ago I made a set of rock sliders for my Prado and posted some pictures on a forum, ended up making around 300 sets for others :rocker: Don't make many anymore but sent out a set just last week. I also built some off road camper trailers, I would build one and use it for a year or so...

BGS stud setter / remover. I got his a few weeks ago but just used it for the first time :) Cheers Andrew

A classic example here At least he changed the title to represent the truth after taking a hammering from almost everyone. Cheers Andrew

25 years ago I worked as a welder making farming machinery, apart from the main frame that was too large, everything was dipped. Cheers Andrew

Contact Adhesive or Silicone, I have used both with good success sticking rubber mat to metal in the past. Cheers Andrew

Just Google Dan Smith's Dream Workshop and you will find the video. The Blog didn't work for me either so that's what I did. Pretty impressive! Cheers Andrew

Yeah I hate it when I can't remember where I put my mill :lol_hitti Cheers Andrew

That was my thought, I have had it a couple of times where a bottle of gas just makes it smoke and spatter, once onto the next bottle it goes back to normal. Cheers Andrew

I did had to do the same thing to run my mains power to my house from the other side of the road. I just hooked up the conduit to the garden tap and water jetted it under the road after digging the trench either side. I jetted around 30 feet and it went through fairly straight, only slightly off...

MIG, TIG, Stick no issue. Industrial level spot welders generate intense magnetic fields that can cause issues, they will definately ****** your credit cards :) Cheers Andrew

I agree, I just got a pair and they were too big for the first hose I needed to pull. Cheers Andrew

I know its not quite what you were asking, but I have done repairs in some pretty remote places :) Earlier this year we were heading across the Simpson Desert in Central Australia which is the largest parallel sand dune Desert in the world. We came across a guy who had snapped the drawbar on...

Not quite the right size but in the ballpark http://www.ebay.com/itm/5V0353-5V0354-Washer-Shim-Caterpillar-New-Replacement-5V-0353-5V-0354-10-of-EACH-/251451678385?hash=item3a8bb01eb1:g:sKYAAOxy63FS~t7r Shims from a 988 Cat would probably get close :) Cheers Andrew

I would google bucket pin shims, as in earthmoving equipment, you would likely find something off the shelf that fits your description. Cheers Andrew

That is not the case here, Cobras are only around 30% more. I am pretty sure my selection of Knipex pliers is going to grow, I really like the look of those Cobras, and the Raptors, and the pliers wrenches :) Cheers Andrew

Maybe in America, not something you get in Australia where the OP and I live. Cheers Andrew

Yes always best to avoid the problem, but in my case I don't have anything to pre heat them. Add to that, the bolt pictured was holding a piece of plastic to the crossmember so pre heat wasn't an option anyway. As you say every broken bolt poses its own challenge, find the right answer for...

Re: georgegj Yeah, I have never seen or even heard of a 6" grinder before. Cheers Andrew
