    York 150 vise restoration

    Well that's not entirely true. Ever since I became an active member here (over a year ago) I had my eye out for these. Since then I came across probably less than a dozen. This is the first 60.

    Well I do a bit but these are not mine. They belong to buddies I share the garage with. The Hazet on the right was pulled out of the trash at his workplace.

    Bought them trough Ebay from a seller in the UK. Was the only descent starter kit I could find. There is one from 3M themselves but that has a very small number of discs. This should keep me busy for quite a while. Paid 29,99 pound for the kit and 8,20 pound for shipping from the UK to the...
