Yeah, another rivet as described and maybe put a shim that could be removed in place while fastening the rivet leaving clearance for the door to swing freely.

Yep, I was once beneficiary of such a disposal. Turned down a large genset, easy five figures, perhaps six, in a shipping container because I had no place to store and no way to move. Still kicking myself for not investing the time to figure that one out.

Amusing guy and a nice haul. Not sure I'd want to do this for a living. There is guy who patrols my neighborhood on trash collection day who sometimes has some interesting stuff aboard. I need to look closer into his haul when he stops here for my scrap.

Agreed

Perhaps in the installation instructions? Sounds like you communicated with the wrong(lazy) person.

Why a GFCI for a ceiling mounted fixture? A lamp holder with a receptacle show in post #2 seems a fine choice from here. Good ones will come from an electrical supply house, the ones at big orange etc. are garbage. I'd imagine the ones you can't lay a hand on until you own them from the jungle...

Please tell me that isn't a high pressure fuel line.

I ordered one that arrived today. It came in a rather important looking metal case missing two of the elements listed in the instructions. I dragged Mrs. Rust into the shop after explaining how these work. Sensing my enthusiasm she follwed me out to watch me attempt to heat an exhaust manifold...

Did a fuel tank on a Tundra which had the frame patches applied. Swept up a few pounds worth of rust flakes after that job. See my screen name.

Granted. The quality of the steel used for the fasteners seems to be what makes the difference. The Japanese stuff I see, mostly Toyota, rots and swells and is not sufficiently strong to endure the forces needed to remove them. Much moreso than the other crusty **** I regularly work on.

I avoid working on Japanese cars like venereal disease

Yeah, rub it in.

Having done a fair bit of "handyman" work I was a fan of a bucket and "BucketBoss" organizer for the core tools. Task/trade specific items in soft bags, good plastic hand carry boxes, "Sit,Stand,Tote" *boxes or those plastic totes with a two-piece lid often used by stores for stock shipments. I...

A pencil sharpening story : An old girlfriend was sharpening pencils in her office with a sharpener atop a file cabinet. A freshly sharpened pencil rolled of the top of the file and was headed towards her foot(wearing pumps). She attempted to pull her foot not within time alloted for a fall...

X-Acto KS is an all metal sharpener, not quite the old Boston machine but does well enough. None will satisfactorily sharpen a shippy pencil having off center lead For those like me who prefer a round pencil the Berol Black Warrior used to be the gold standard. Looks like the brand has been...

No. I gave away mine for precisely the reason, chunky, some like it. Aside that it was a decent enough ratchet for the $$.
