The Fox and Hound is interesting. I like the idea of the continuity to the nail head. He has the electrician coming tomorrow, just see what he wants to do for now.

I bought a Radio Shack one, it looks very similar if it is not this one. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062753#inTheBox It works great and I highly recommend it. I do quite a lot of car electrical wiring, just used it on a Mustang GT350H tacho. The lighter part broke a...

My friend is having stucco installed on his house. He found one room has no power and the circuit breaker trips straight away. The contractors had removed the clapboard and banged the old nails back through, most likely hitting a cable. How do we find "we" find which nail / nails are the...

I had fiber added in my mix. After acid etch and sweeping I did not see the hairs, though I did not look that close. With the primer/first epoxy coat I still did not notice anything. I added a non-slip 'grit' in my clear coat, its dangerous otherwise in New England. With a shiny finish you might...

As Jack S has said, why bother with jack stands if you are just rotating tires. You are making more work for yourself, use the spare.

I have the Harbor Freight in use on my compressor and it works ok. For me though I found it a pain to get it installed and working. Had to use a copper line, the t piece was poorly cast and leaked, all I ended up using was the valve itself. My time is better spent than working on this cheap...

For a regular front engine/ rear wheel drive, a gearbox removal on a 4 post is ok. A 4 post with front wheel drive, gearbox removal would be complicated. A solid rear axle removal or gas tank could also be more complicated. A 4 post takes up more garage floor space. I am not sure why they say...

On my electrical panel, Siemens, the interlock screws around the main circuit breaker and the top left center breaker. This is the one closest to the main circuit breaker. The wiring to the generator is connected to this circuit breaker. A sliding plate prevents you switching both the main...

I was considering when we were having the driveway replaced. Decided not to in the end. Here is a thread with some info.. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=88452

I use these around my house, http://www.logitech.com/en-us/video-security-systems?overview There is a busted video link in there. Better than a Panasonic I had, simple thin 1 wire install, sends email alerts, can view on iphone, sound, playback, built in mini SD card, etc. I am sure there are...

I would try to logically step by step try to find the problem rather than throw parts in. 1.. Jack up both rear sides of the car. Jackstands etc.. 2.. Release handbrake, spin each wheel, don't remove wheel yet. 3.. Grab top and bottom of each wheel and attempt to pull in and out checking for...

If you loosen the banjo fitting it might now leak. You most likely got new copper or alum washers with your new caliper. Pick up a pack of these washers at Napa and replace them if you feel compelled to loosen the banjo bolt to the correct setting. You will then need to bleed the brakes. I would...

I dont see how a master cylinder can cause a brake pad to be tilted. It only has the ability to apply pressure or release it. So if you had a problem in that area you might see the pads or rotor possibly worn on side of the car, it depends on the plumbing, split system etc, you might see it on...

Inside the brake hose itself is a relief for the brake fluid to pass all around the banjo bolt, ie it does not matter what direction the hole in the bolt faces.

Has the car been in an accident? Is the tire wear uneven? Did a new caliper mounting bracket come with the replacement caliper? Maybe check the pads after a few days to see if they are still wearing uneven.

I have stopped using Rustoleum after problems with clogging tips and slow drying times. I started using Duplicolor and have been very impressed with coverage, drying time and finish. A lot harder for me to find as my local Autozones, HomeDepots etc do not stock Duplicolor but AdvanceAutos is my...

Wheel bearing worn allowing the disc to tilt? The rear disc is held in place by a screw but maybe wheel bolts loose allowing disc to tilt, less likely? Bent caliper mounting bracket or stuck caliper piston? If you look straight on at the edge of the disc, caliper and pads does it all look...

Nice video. I noticed that your expanding bolts are very close / bridging the stress cuts that have been made in the floor. I was hoping to put in a 2nd XPR10A which I really had not planned for and the most convenient place for the lift is close to my cuts in the floor. Is this considered ok?
