User Rides / Re: Chuck's '83 TBird
Last post by Chuck W -Today was the day, however, that I got started on the transmission and clutch disc R&R. Got the car in the air and got everything removed in the cabin and got started underneath.
As a reminder, the transmission is being swapped out because the synchros in the current one are shot and the 6-puck clutch disc doesn't play nice in traffic.

Last post by Mikey97D -All those "edges" make me think hot spots but diesel is different.
There's been some aftermarket heads for 2 stroke bikes using different squish patterns that people often rave about giving a better combustion.

Last post by jcassity -Real use data heafty data points lending itself to have earned the tag "New Piston Breakthrough",, just my opinion so far.
try not to focus on cost ,, many people do not know the two most expensive phases of a project are R&D as well as Customer Ownership. everything in between when an item hist the market lowers the costs of either end when said item is no longer the new thing on the market.
thoughts/.?

Last post by jcassity -they are the buy once cry once kinda thing though.
I am going to scavange ebay later tonight and see if by a small chance anyone on there is selling some.
its going to be odd though because a lot of people dont know what this kind of thing is.
It stands up well to knife cuts as in there is no real penetrations/marks even razor blades.

Lounge / Help with what the proper naming convention is of my ESD/Soldering mat
Last post by jcassity -I have had an ESD/Soldering *HARD BOARD" mat in my garage since 95 when i got out of the Navy.
This was on my workbench at NAS Oceana for my entire time working micro-miniature component level repair in my avionics shop 69A.
close to the days i was a short timer, the shop was getting new ESD boards for all the soldering stations and we asked if we could have them and the shop supv said he didn't care, they were classifed as consumables. I carried mine home and its been a real soldier at all the abuse you can imagine. Time has finally taken its toll but its still functional and useful.... however, I am in the market for another one to place on my newly fabricobbled dedicated electronics repair station. I am looking on line and to my surprise, seems like everything i am finding for soldering workbench mats are all silicone. Sounds inferior to me and not something that will stand up to my kind of standards and expectations of a proper soldering mat.
Here is a quick vid of what i have and i am looking for something like it. My issue is i dont know how to shop for it,, meaning i dont kno what its called believe it or not. I am now starting to believe its BakLite with maybe a cermaic coating??? I dont know but i want to at least see if i can find another. If anyone at all is familiar with soldering stations where there would be a hard board desk top mat and you know what they are called, chime in. This one in my vid was also an ESD mat but its almost indistructable.
thanks in advance for any ideas or networking me with someone who may know.
