What have you done to your square lately??
One of the tricks to dealing with agents fabricating facts is, look into the state codes. Often, there is no basis for agent's demands. Then, you can make it personal. VERY personal (as in, the agent acting outside the scope of their authority cannot look to the public to defray the cost of... -
What have you done to your square lately??
ON THE OTHER HAND, there is the guy who got hit by lightening twice. The last one killed him. My attention was caught by his headstone. It was blown to bits, by a lightning strike. -
What have you done to your square lately??
True. But that was just that one incident. How about the others? I was waiting to take a left. I watched a POS invader on the other side of the five lanes and intersection shoot around [via the wrong lane] a VERY long line of cars waiting to turn left, running from the cops. I knew he could... -
What have you done to your square lately??
DMV and I battled a few times. I LOVE administrative law. It's an opportunity to slap around arrogant, power absorbed public agents who, as often as not, do not know the laws controlling their day to day activities. The first time was a bill they sent me for a Ford van, saying it was worth more... -
What have you done to your square lately??
Had a brother in law with the same problem (many accidents, and ALWAYS the other guy's/gal's fault. At some point, I put it on him. Starting with learning about defensive driving. For example, parked at a red light on the four lane an hour from home, and because I actually use my mirrors, I... -
Mounting fender emblems should not cause this much anxiety!
I like having mirrors. I drilled holes. So. . . . Yeah, brazing holes shut and repainting a fender would be a pain. So, measure five times. If you're close, but are level to the lines of the truck, there aren't many who'd notice you are off a half inch, and those who point it out aren't...- Dejure

Repopped Fender Badges-where to buy quality badges?
There is a 3-D printer near you. Somewhere. Do him/her a favor. Maybe they'll do one back. Wink, wink. SIDE NOTE: My loyalty to those who've converted transportation into licensed computer products only dealers can work on are on my "anything [not a crime, or solid grounds for a civil suit] is... -
Repopped Fender Badges-where to buy quality badges?
I haven't read the relative laws, but it may be not every prohibition possible is in play, regarding licensed things. Keeping in mind, our laws work like: We The People may do ANY act not, lawfully, proscribed. Mindful of that, if there is no law prohibiting someone from giving emblems away... -
Custom Fender Badges
Sure makes the cost of high end printers a lot less painful, when you look at the ask for these on some sites. -
Custom Fender Badges
Cool. About 15 years back, I bought a vinyl cutter to make my own window signs for my work van. I used common self adhesive shelf liner (contact paper) and it held up for years. Making new signs was, like with the 3-D printer, just a click away, and edits were easy. Similarly, if a PETG print... -
Thinking about a new smaller steering wheel, comfort grip or forever sharp?
Want to have some fun, going down this road? Look up tick sticks, if you want a perfect fit. They work and are as simple as they seem. In fact, they work so well boat builders (the likes of which I consider some of the best woodworkers in the world) use them. -
Custom Fender Badges
Out of curiosity, do you know what filament he printed with. For example, PLA doesn't play well with heat and PETG is said to be only a bit better. ASA is said to be easier to work with than ABS, but both those last two are tough and hold up to heat and weather fairly well. ONE of the main... -
Part Choice-Brake System
Hmmm. On that 1.5 thing. check valves are dirt simple. I made one, as an experiment, using a 1" long, 3/4" nipple, two caps, a spring and a silicone ball. I ground the inside of one cap, drilled holes in both. . . . Not much to fail. As such, if an integral part of the can, it should last... -
Part Choice-Brake System
School is still out, regarding the filters between the intake manifold and the power steering booster cans (said by someone who doesn't know anatomy from a hole in the ground, regarding these matters). Searches indicate these are both filters and check valves. Though some of the information... -
Forever Sharp steering wheel installed. Beautiful
It's always great to see people state things that aren't obvious to anyone, other than them. -
Defroster without AC
(Since these show up in relative searches for needed info) About those square body heater control circuits: 1.0 The amount of power (volts times amps (wattage)) used in each of the blower speeds is, exactly, the same. What changes is, when the switch is in the high speed position, the... -
heater fan - always on?
Ran my 69 step side with a rocker that gave only low, high and off for a couple decades. Dust was never a problem. But then it was never a noted problem on my 42 Plymouth panel, 40 Chev panel, 48 Merc coup, 67 VW Square Back,. . . . either. -
What have you done to your square lately??
Was looking at the tail pipe photos and it took me to my buddy's lessen-learned adventure. He'd done some repairs and his pipe ended up exhausting at wiring he hadn't thought about, or didn't know was there. Melted the insulation and shorted the tail lights and such. After a bunch of groping... -
What have you done to your square lately??
LMC package just arrived. Strange I never noticed (tested) before, but discovered I did not need the key to start the truck. On a whim, I checked and. . . . Got on line and ordered a new ignition switch, as well as the electronics part of the chain. Opened the package and thought, "CRAP... -
What have you done to your square lately??
Until I get my buckets in, I have to deal with the bench seat and the belts that just lay on the seat. Using those belts requires me to hold the female side in my right hand, grab the male side, reach over myself and plug it into the female side. It's total pain. I experimented with a 3-D... -
Wood-fired Square
That's the same concern my buddy, who owned and operated cedar mills expressed. I reminded him of how much effort he put into starting up the burners at his mill - he'd dump five gallons of diesel on the cedar in the burner, then have to use a handheld propane torch to get it going. Using...- Dejure

Blower motor wiring
There are a few systems: (1) Ones like MINE, a 1978 C15 without air and without a relay, rely on the switch to do all the heavy lifting. (2) Ones like mine, without air, but that use a relay, so the switch doesn't do any heavy lifting (it just activates the relay/relays). (3) Ones with air... -
Wood-fired Square
There, probably, is going to be run off from rain and snow. How much, I don't know. Of course, every situation is going to vary. Some of that is going to contain heavy metals. If it's a large enough garden, my money is on that any contamination that occurs would be limited to the perimeter...- Dejure

Fat 454, engine oil, automatic transmission fluid, mineral oil, Chevron Shingle Oil. . . . Any non-hardening oil will do. Avoid hardening oils, like Tung oil, boiled linseed oils and other surface coats. I thin about 15% paint thinner to improve penetration of the wood, but you could just put...- Dejure

A Technical Comedy [Only After the Fact]
Narrowing the world a bit more, I moved to Bremerton around 73 to work at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard [PSNS] in Shop 51, marine electricians. From there, I went to Bangor Sub Base, then Keyport Naval Torpedo Station [NTS], now called the Naval Undersea Warfare Engineering Station [NUWES] (guess...- Dejure
