No... meant what I said. Spinning ring Is what I need.

I have a need to make the Lunette ring swivel. In doing so is it best to use a brass shim, Teflon shim, or both in between the compression surface? Maybe a sandwhich? This will be added to another assembly so the swivel rings on the market now just wont work for me, hence I need to fab one up...

It's like everything else... Finding the right buyer and the right project. But I would think it would bring 12 to $1,500.00. It could be duplicated but in today's dollars it would cost $2500.00 minimum to build it, Buy it for 15 and restore it to the color of the truck you would be coming out...

I'm a hot rod builder by trade and like it has been mentioned before that is most likely a service bed off of a 40's and 50's commercial truck. They are making a come back in the Hot Rod truck world. Just saying if ya go to get rid of it you might be able to get a great price for it if...

I'm thinking about shortening an ABS Plastic water tank. It looks like welding is the way to go in that gluing is suggested for grey or black water tanks only. So with that said what does one look for in a good plastic welder? Is there any good helpful tricks when welding plastic? And finally...

With work getting in the way I haven't done as much as I would of liked recently. I have been making sure the function is correct and doing some fine adjustments to the suspension. One of my projects has been buidling an extremely adjustable anti sway device. It works at any height and with very...
