I have several āexpensive watchesā that I love, and most were bought used. This speedmaster is about 35 years old; I bought it when it was about 20 years old for a very good price from a guy that only deals in used Omegas. But itās funny, I have some inexpensive mechanical watches sub 500...
I was able to drop the rear and mid portion of the exhaust to get a couple extra inches and got the spring out, new one in, and was able to do the IRS dowels, and brackets without too much fuss other than that two part bracket back portion. One more corner to go and then itās done!
Worst part...
I dont want to bash Steeda too much here because they do a lot of good stuff for us and give good support. I wonder if itās more of a regional thing with Fed Ex? Like operatiors in some areas are great and some are shit? I did not know they were independent providers. That may explain the...
I was really afraid of stripping that bolt head. But I got square on it with hand tools. Wish I could have put power on it. Lots of little turns! Thanks again guys. This is still a fun project and I am learning some stuff.
I went to harbor freight and got some bendy ratchets and different breaker bar. Dropped part of the exhaust and now itās good to go. Just got old spring out and the new one in on the one side and about to start the steeda irs dowels and brackets. But, needed a coffee break! Glad Iām retired...
I am very happy with my Steeda parts, but, Iāll say my most recent order compared to the others has been especially frustrating. Zero tracking. Then, the day it was set to arrive, I got an email saying so. I dont like being away from the house to leave my wife to haul in my heavy boxes and...
I just finished my front suspension upgrade and starting on the rear but realized that I cant get to the rear IRS bolt as it blocked by my exhaust. Maybe there is a better socket extension or swivel? But I canāt get the socket square on it for removal. Any advice? I really dont want to drop...
Take a look at the companies that make the power coating materials. They have lots of clear. Some have a tint, some have sparkle, some have different levels of shine. You can totally find what you want. I shoot aluminum chassis rifles and all have powder coatings. Ive had a few redone when...
I realized I needed a battery tender on my s550 as I have not been driving it this winter (I had the ignition on while installing a A10 shifter ball and the battery died in about 45 mins). Installed a wired hookup that lives under the hood and also works with my boost jumper.
I love a hotdog; but I had to post something nicer that iāv made. Fennel pollen and garlic roasted pork shoulder with polenta and braised greens in a Umbrian style.
