I did build [almost finished no really] an end cabinet and started a 1 drawer mid box . [noticing a trend are we? Well I have a wife to nag me, so leave her a little meat on the bones to chew on PLZ!] It was going to be a 2 drawer but, material was running short and so am I, 2 drawers would be...

I've never tried a heat gun for this but a small torch usually will restore the gloss of many plastics [propane, butane, even a cigarette lighter, size of the part dependant). The melt point of most are in the low to mid 400° range but they start becoming "plastic" in the 200-250° range [where...

Maybe so but we are supposed to be here because we LOVE THIS $#!+! I have seen a few books that I will add to my wife's "Buy me this list" she never knows what to buy me for those special occasions! It is my lot [and every GJ'ers] to make sure every tech avenue is fully exploited, (and that we...

If you have 1 good one, you could take a mould of it, and cast your own. You will need lots of wax and a parting agent to remove the original plug, and subsequent "new parts". For increased strength you could add a nice piece of dowel and/or chopped fiberglass to the resin. Harry

I am wondering if some shaft retainer Loctite would help with the flywheel retention? I've thought about it plenty but never pulled the trigger, always seemed to work out ["missed him by that much" (Maxwell Smart] just before the "Better Living Through Chemicals" fix was implemented. Just an...

86' use a small pic and then progressively bigger implements and pry twist etc. until you can grab the top piece of insert and simply turn it out. They spin out easier than a screw if you get them from the top as they collapse as you turn them. Harry
