    Good multimeter?

    Has anyone thought about the old Simpson 260 series VOMs? A friend of mine who was an electrician has one he used when he first started working in the late 50's and retired with the same meter in the late 90s. They are not the latest digital display models but just keep on doing the job of...

    Builds Cayman Islands FZJ80 DIY build-up

    I took the cruiser for a drive and while the driver's window went down, it would not go up. Problem was with the power window motor. I had the original motor stop working about 6 years ago and swapped it for a Dorman unit. That installation required a bit of rewiring - mainly because the...

    Projecting, tinkering, fiddle-farting around: whatcha building?

    At least not in the NiCADs. I have my batteries numbered and the ones that are stuck in the charger for days always dies quickly. I am more very careful with the lithium batteries . The other issue might be the charger I am using. I buy my tools one at a time, hence tend to use whatever charger...

    Projecting, tinkering, fiddle-farting around: whatcha building?

    I have a couple contributions to make to the project building ideas. I am always forgetting my Dewalt batteries in the charger. The lucky ones only stay in for a couple hours.

    Broken Valve Cover Stud - tried everything what to do now?

    To keep all the valve cover bolts the same size, I would use the Helicoil. Also add anti-sieze to the bolts when you put them back in to prevent this from happening again. Second choice and cheapest would be to use a longer M6 bolt with a nut. It is in a fairly accessible location.
