Just remind me of light bulb covers.

What the F*** on planet earth?

 

[waiting for time]

Birth control for rabbits.

Think nipples.

 

[waiting for time]

Nice I like it. I keep my air tools with the nipples faced down in a hole to keep debris out of it.

They are tough too. Rolls up to original form in a zip!!

Getting the parts organized for @Cowboy45’s first customer project out of the elf barn. Hj60 getting a 2.5” OME lift, font disc brake conversion with 4 runner calipers, tie rods, non Abs 80 series booster, 80 series master, proportioning valve, rear drum brake shoes, cylinders/bits, brake fluid flush/bleed.

Got these baking trays/trolley dirt cheap during COVID. Makes for good build and teardown parts holder. Easily move this to a truck your working on and keep things together. Have a few of these for this specific use. Multiplies horizontal space vertically and compact.

Tore apart the new to Athol vice. Looks good. Caked grease. Threw it in diesel/ATF bath we use for parts washing to soak overnight.

Can you machine the jaws off and add removable jaws?
like this.

you can make new jaws and harden them.

And make soft jaws.

 

[ceylonfj40nut]

I would rather not unless I absolutely have to. Keeping it original as possible is what I want. Popping soft jaws on just before use is not inconvenient

Some small pieces of 1/8" aluminum right angle cut to the length of the jaws work perfect for no mar clamping. super fast and easy

But you probably already know this

I have a couple pieces of 1/8" kydex, heat formed to fit over the jars, that sit on a shelf under my vice. They're very quick to slip in place when I need soft jaws, and easy/cheap to replace when they get worn.
