First Time Pig "Build"

[nuclearlemon]

I checked at Grainger, and their prices were stoopid...

that's grainger. what about office supply stores? when i remember, i just use paint pens to mark parts.

I've got an idea on this one, folks.

You know the twist off tags, similar to what's on your electric meter?

Would that work?

Off to surgery for the 71.










Some must die so others can live....

I now have three storage units, totaling 750 square feet of Pigs and parts, yet only have two Pigs here.

Be down to one, come Monday, since 71 and 72 will both be at Britt's, so I'm going to take a look at a better means to organize.

Have OE parts that need to sort into the varying systems, some if which I don't even know where they go.

Have rebuilt parts that need to sort into the OEs, to be able to see what I don't have, and what I need to still rebuild.

Have parts that need machined.

Have parts that I've pulled, blasted, primed white, as an indicator that they're engine bay 202.

Have parts for plating, but want to gather all and send at once....unsure what "all" is.

THEN, have parts that will be for sale, that need to be cataloged, packaged, and organized.

It's a literal 'Sty, right now and my fear is loosing something, or getting to a critical moment and not having something.

Restorations, or whatever I'm doing could be called (since I've no friggin' clue what in doing) are difficult, much more so than what I did on the 80.

That said, since the 76 will be second and more in line with what I'be done before, attacking individual mechanical systems but still driving, should be a better project from a thread readers perspective (descriptive. That's not my concern) hopefully after amassing enough knowledge on this to KNOW what I'm doing.

My immediate concern, regarding all the blabber above, is being able to sort the OE parts from Onur, but some are baffling me, then I need to compare to the original list that Pighead helped compile, and see what's left.

I've bitten off more than I'm capable of chewing on my own, so very, very, very grateful for all of y'all that are helping, to say the least.

The cache from Onur....

List to follow.

In going to yet to sort into the proper categories then see where I screwed up.

Have six hairs left on my head, this morning. How many remain may be the barometer for the degree of difficulty.

Wow! That is a stack of parts.

 

[Delancy]

Seeing it all in one "pile" is both exciting and concerning, considering I'm not 100% certain where it all goes.

U joints should be here this week.

Fenders and tailgate should be here this week or next.

Hoping a lot of surgery will be completed this week.

Slow progress, but progress is progress.

Back to the issue of parts inventory - does anyone know a good place to get those parts tags with the built in twist-ties?

They an be blank tags, just want the reinforced "eye" with the twist ties.

I checked at Grainger, and their prices were stoopid...

hit up a locksmith...or check at auto shop supply house...think key tags...or you could get an alpha numeric stamp kit and give each part its own VIN...

Would that work?

Not sure I know what these look like?

 

[Delancy]

Similar to this, but much cheaper quality.

 

[Delancy]

Check these out.

No place on mine, at this point, but pretty cool, nonetheless.

NIB Coarse Spline Aisins.

 

[LAMBCRUSHER]

wooooooooooow. didn't know they made em, but yeah, no place on mine

 

[Delancy]

wooooooooooow. didn't know they made em, but yeah, no place on mine

I can find no info of their existence.

Going to move to 40/55 to see what anyone else may know.

 

[OGBeno]

Ask CDan.....he was selling parts when those came out!





That said, they are very, very nice.

I don't think they would have been labeled "AISIN" back then. They would have been "ASCO" (Aisin became Aisin Seiki Corporation in 1965).

 

[Delancy]

^^. Done.

 

[Delancy]

Dan says he's never seen.

 

[OGBeno]

Dan says he's never seen.

That would be confirmation for me.

 

[surfpig]

WHAT?

I have one of those...

 

[surfpig]

And I'm pretty sure they're stainless...

 

[Delancy]

And I'm pretty sure they're stainless...

Gotcha.

76 has, but haven't spent much time with, since trying not to grow attached.

 

[Delancy]

I'm purposely missing the forest and focussing on individual trees....

Having a hard time sourcing anything close to the OE screws latches.

Best I've come up with is an 8x35mm machine screw, that has nearly the same pitch on the shoulder, but a larger Phillips and smaller diameter outer head, along with a 15.875mm lock washer.











The machine screw doesn't fit below the face of plate with either washer, in the same manner as the OE, but does without.

Lose my fair entry with the oddball machine screw?

Anyone else come up with a resource for these?

Reusing OEs isn't an option.

Delancy,

Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do!

Let's keep looking around at different suppliers, maybe we'll find them.
