Sliding glass door rollers?

Tubing straightener.

I’m pretty sure he was asking what the rollers were sourced from,
no?

 

[dvdswan]

Pretty simple and effective. Nicely done.

After rolling it out on the ground, you can clamp one end in a vice and the other end in a pair of vice grips. Then bend the vice grip end at a right angle, the hit the vice grip with a mini sledge. Makes it as straight as an arrow.

I've heard that straightening brake line in this manner can create untraceable harmonic vibrations in the driveline/suspension.

Sliding glass door rollers?

Yes sir, my hardware store called the patio door rollers, but the same thing.

 

[Catbox]

Nice work.
I will have to remember this method for when I need to make things straight.

Thanks...I just couldn't see spending 100 bucks or more on something that doesn't get used all the time, and it is only for one thing.

Got sick of my Oxygen/Acetylene cart tires going flat all the time. It is a HF cart, and I probably could have just put some stop leak in the tubes...BUT SCREW THAT!!!!

Made this tool a while ago to press in the recess, for the auxiliary fuel tank filler neck.

Made a gadget to press in door hinge pin bushings . nothing special really bit it doesn't mess up the brass bushings. Consists of some 1/4 -20 all-thread a 9/16 1/4 inch socket some washers and nuts to press the bushings in

Old fuel pump rods and a whack with a hammer are effective as well.

**** got real. Dude put a 6 inck lift kit and 37's on his welding cart.

I don't know if it is a tool, but started building a table for my 3in1 Shear, Press Break, and Roller.

I have a holley with pretty bad corrosion(galvanic, aluminum parts, i think) and the carb is a double pumper, older one, and looks nice on the top/outside, but the baseplate wouldnt be a flatmachined surface and the butterflys are pretty bad(I dont think thats realistic to repair?) so the idea of a carb stand is pretty cool.. and I could display it maybe.. polish up the pretty parts?

If its not realistically repairable or of any definite use value then I think it would look pretty nice cleaned up at least and a conversation piece?

You could put four long bolts through the mounting holes with a nut on each side of the flange to hold them in place. Much cheaper way to stand it up.

Figure out how to put a hollow bolt in place of the air cleaner stud and you can make a lamp out of it.
