    What's up with these NAPA front brakes hoses?

    There should be a hole in the chassis to accept the tab on the bracket.

    If you're into small GA aircraft, you might find this cool

    They eliminated weight requirements for LSA and now permit up to 4 seats, wish they would raise the UL weight limits a bit.

    OEM vs Aftermarket tailgates?

    Just replaced my tailgate with the Crown gate and I have nothing to complain about. The only issue is the third brake light harness hole is missing but not a big deal. I hung the gate about a 1/4 in high on the latch side to counter the weight of the spare.

    Fuel management valve clamp / pump issue

    It appears that all the connections are simple friction fit that relies on the flexibility/tension of the hose so any small worm drive should do the trick. Tighten down gently as you do not need much tension and those plastic connections could snap or crack. You might also consider just tracing...

    New Tool Day

    Just made my first Vevor purchase and I really have nothing to bitch about. I picked up an older HF 7" lathe cheap a few years back and it was OK for the most part and wanted to get the 12" from HF but didn't really see any value for the $800 price, then I stumbled on the Vevor 14" for $495...

    Cranks, won't start after checking voltage at fuel pump plug (throws P0340 now)

    Testing the power lead to any ground and testing ground to ground proves you have proper ground continuity in the circuit.

    Cranks, won't start after checking voltage at fuel pump plug (throws P0340 now)

    Wile checking on startup you will only see 12V at the fuel pump connector for a few seconds. Check the pump power lead to any ground and also the connector ground to any ground for continuity. Also do a thorough visual of the wire leads into the loom side of the pump conector looking for any...

    AX5 transmission drain plug: How screwed am I? Any creative solutions?

    Might consider stuffing the hole for protection and take a crack with a small sanding disc (attached) and a steady hand straight in to clean up the surface, cannot imagine it would cause further damage...

    Do I need to tap a vent hole on new B&M short shifter?

    With the shifter linkage not being a sealed unit there really is no reason for additional venting. Added a short throw to my AX-5 years ago without issue.

    Dealing with tailgate gaps

    In the process of replacing the corner panel and tailgate and the gaps were pissing me off big time with both rear fenders being splayed out giving me a lovely V groove on both sides. I had a brain fart last night and figured out if the rollbar cross member was loosened (it's adjustable) a...
