Pin plates are used with a cone. They are used to improve the consistency of the cone mounting, not as the only mounting method. I bought a Haweka set at an auction cheaply ($200 AUD) but it didn't have the studs for my wheels and those were going to cost me heaps more. I also realised it...

Basically all new products after the acquisition by Snap-on were branded Snap-on or at least Snap-on designs branded as Sun. Sun seems to have become just a name instantly. For Sun Europe, apparently they bought themselves during the Snap-on acquisition. That's why they still exist over there...

I'll guess you saw an AI search result. AI makes up all kinds of garbage. It sees one tiny bit of information on the same page as something else and associates it together.

I have spent more than that just making the leads for my MT1665. The MT1665 itself didn't cost me much though. Wish I could find deals like that.

I have used PZ4 but never JIS 4 or phillips 4. I have never noticed that any larger sizes even exist. The only similar thing I can think of is for use in a pole shoe screwdriver. If anyone made such bits, I imagine that Koken would.

Something I've seen before is someone get mixed up between VL Churchill and VLC (V. Lowener Company). Both of them made wheel aligners.

I am thinking of the 1950s/60s on-car type but any type or brand interests me. Not something Crypton made as far as I'm aware. It is basically impossible to find any information for Crypton products.

Do you have old Churchill documents for equipment such as their wheel balancers?

A fire is not something you want to experience. There was a fire at my work and six months later the insurance company has only just finished the clean-up (could they do it any slower?). They haven't started on the reconstruction yet. All because one computer started a fire when nobody was...

A RAID array isn't a backup. I'm sure whatever computer you are using can have a second drive added without one. The best solution is to image the HDD and store it in multiple places. Then you can easily create an exact clone of the drive when required.

I'd much rather it was made in China than India. I have some Gedore spanners from back when they made some in India. Many of them broke when new.

Thanks, that is excellent. I have been chasing this information for a while. I will draw up full a diagram and post it. I am crazy enough that I had saved photos of a worksheet and was considering trying to recreate it. That scan saves me doing so. I kind of want to take this machine to car...

I already have run air lines outside as I often work out there. That means it just requires a bit of reconfiguration. I never did it properly so it needs to be redone anyway. The problem with power is that it is illegal here to do DIY electrical work. I also want industrial levels of power of...

I want to move mine outside simply to save space. I just don't have power outside. They just built heaps of townhouses next to me so I'm sure they'll be impressed.

Thanks for that. I don't know how to tell you but that info was actually in the operating manual at the back, at least in the PDF I have. It doesn't give the connector part numbers so that is helpful. What I'm unsure of is the pinout of the secondary and trigger clamps. The manual doesn't say...

That doesn't have runout compensation. But yes it will do the same job that people are trusting the gyraline to do which is a quick alignment to get the vehicle to a proper aligner. Camber/caster are unimportant for that (not that I even think toe is). It definitely seems to me that the...

Without looking at the details of this analyser, I don't believe that will help. That is for testing a HEI distributor on a distributor machine without having the module from the car. I assume the box being asked about here is a thing which protected the analyser from the higher voltages form...

The end is spring loaded. You put it between the wheels and zero the scale. Then you roll the vehicle to the opposite position with the bar still in place and can then read the toe. SPC Performance 99374 or 99361 TOE GAUGE

I'd rather buy one of these: No calibration, runout issues or flat batteries and it'll still be working in 100 years time unlike an app which will get discontinued. The way it works means it doesn't need runout compensation which the Gyraline lacks. I have a really old one just like it. The...

I wish it could print the scope patterns. Not surprised that it can't as my Allen DEA can't. The Allen SEA can though but that was a much more expensive machine.
