Re: PO has me PO'd

Love the pump Jim. Good job. In my humble opinion, that free advertising ought to be worth a year's free board membership, right?

Re: PO has me PO'd
You have to untemper it to cut it and then retemper it, and you run the risk of it shattering in the process..

Re: PO has me PO'd
It can be done, it's just not as simple as just cutting plate glass, you have to make sure the glass shop is capable of doing it, not all are. The green Blazer glass would probably look great on that pump. I get where you are going with it.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 You decide, or not! Here is the story.... Bought my 1 1/2" spacers from a web site (name with held to protect the innocent, the facts mame, just the facts) as said by jack web, on dragnet I told him that the acorn nuts wobble, and questioned him on the 10.9 metric stamped on the stud. I paid an extra 30.00, to have the studs changed to 7/16-20. He said"all our studs are marked with that, and indicate the hardness". The problem is, i was raised before the metric system, so i can t question him. Does anyone know if in fact 10.9 converts into a rockwell number for hardness. His lugnuts that i received also wobble on the studs. I ve been a machinist since hs (50years) and never felt a thread do that

Re: PO has me PO'd
OK, just spoke to the above unnamed website company, they want to send out another set of studs. I ll wait, but doubt this will help.
My solution will be to buy quality studs and lug nuts, and rebore spacer to fit. I ll have to figure out what the nominal bore size is.....any idea?

Re: PO has me PO'd
OK, final decision......5" wide beauty rings seemed to cover to much of the wheel, so, i bought 1 1/2" ribbed rings from wheels vintique, and center caps from hubcaps. com. The center caps are repop, so i don t feel bad about cutting a hole in them for the lock outs
1 1/2" spacers installed to even out the front and rear wheels....any thoughts on wheel spacers? Final piece to convert my jimmy to the ultra rare corvette optioned blazer/jimmy....lol  20140905_074628 by [url=https://www.flickr.com/people/97391199@N06/]

Re: PO has me PO'd
On my build thread, I posted my spacers and a few post later, where I got them from for someone else.

Re: PO has me PO'd
Nope, no problems at all. I tightened the lugs to the highest setting on my impact rather then the middle one.
