Question: I ordered the S30 door weatherstrips. They should be here shortly. Do they get glued on or does the windlace hold it well enough?

I don't think it will matter if the OD and ID are correct

I tried to find the screws I bought but I can't locate them and I can't find the Amazon order. I'm sure I ordered them from Amazon. Stainless screws. Some of them are surprisingly long. I don't know size or pitch

The testers normally seal just like the radiator cap which seals the port to the overflow tank

If it wont hold air pressure, a spray bottle with soapy water might help You only need about 15#s of pressure for testing

Radiator pressure tester kit. You might be able to rent one at Advanced or O'Reilly's https://www.amazon.com/Wenzhon-Universal-Radiator-Pressure-Portable/dp/B0CGCFJMWH/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_sspa?crid=1Y3GEZC1H9R7L&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Zv1uDI4wRuNhnjzVSXnqe6epWI1Tlm2TCYwwUX2EuzkCkrXSzuaODd25gTSdSTd_LASMcJa_XFrk0l_CdwIdM1euxqinKYdGaVqrJuwCfyEAlwtyUYvXsMAHWxHHaUu9kM01qb9d3yRE36ovjHs5ycAahmRenWuN081YpACboBs3x4wuRAc5sjzhXCr55iFRihIQj5OK7AH177O6YGx3Lw.gI0qtQs6WzHwGvreJn6Kk0ttfdK1ZBbDoZqfEQrhqVw&dib_tag=se&keywords=radiator+pressure+tester+kit&qid=1740713681&sprefix=radiat%2Caps%2C142&sr=8-2-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRm&psc=1

I have sealed my cabinet well but I still have a number of leaks too. I used strip LEDs in my cabinet too. The waterproof type inside the rubber rib. I buy cheap glass from Home depot for the view area. I think glass might be cheaper than plexi these days. I got some tee handle screws in for making the glass quick change. My next upgrades will probably be the shields that help prevent the media collecting on the ledges inside the cabinet

We have formulated a plan. We'll see how it goes....

My next place is gonna be about a 1200 sq ft cabin and an 8000 squ ft shop. My 1000 squ ft shop is nowhere near enough and I want inside storage for all my cars

Yes, I believe I did. Let me look around

Now you tell me!

My plating tank was pretty cloudy so Shelley and I filtered it today I have no idea what this is, I filtered out. My wife thinks it just garbage. She's a chemist. I have no idea. I did plate today but it took a while to get acceptable results. Lot's of brightener. I'm still not pleased with all of it. I bought a 40 Amp power supply last week because my 10Amp just isn't enough sometime. The problem with the 40 Amp power supply is it has no resolution a lot amperages. So for little things I still have to use the 10 amp power supply. I have new zinc anodes coming this week. So I will tweak the tank some more. I tried to plate a carb water bypass tube today. It didn't do right. I probably need a different shaped tank to plate some of these long narrow parts

For brighter, most people go LED but that can add other complications...

I believe there are four bolts holding the steering column up. The dash is pinched between the steering coulumn and a bracket welded to the firewall. If the column doesn't flop around, its not loose yet

I agree the inside of the cups are pretty crusty on some of those. But my thinking was only the perimeter shows after you put the plastic inner cup in. So only the edge of the cup needs to turn out nice...

@inline6 I dont remember, what did you end up doing for carpet?

Yes, surprisingly they are magnetic

0.016" approx thick. They have two small tabs bent 90d on the top edge

I did finally get the diagram to plot. Took a number of different attempts and tactics

I have the precision door weatherstrips. I have had them for probably 10 years. I tried one of them today. That's gonna be a no go!!! I did eventually slam the door hard enough to get it to latch but it still won't sit flush to car. I will order the S30 weatherstrips this weekend

I started on one of the horns today, now that the blast cabinet is back up and running Started here. I believe these are Lily's original horns Blasted Split open The little center plate appears to be aluminum This plate I think was chromed but I will zinc it clear The other side

I rekeyed the glove box the lock today. I two to choose from. I believe the one with the plastic coated ears is from a later car but the key I am using wouldn't fit in the older lock. Ground the pin down and drove it out Exploded view It was a little bit of a pain to key but I got it done and reassembled

I also worked on sun visors last week because I wanted to chrome the bars they pivot on Disassembly The mirror end piece will just pull out, but getting a grip on it without marking it up is tough Screws for the visor to roof Screws that tighten the sun visor pivot Corner brackets

I got a new battery last weekend for Lily and a new battery frame I pulled together some pieces that need to be chromed. We'll see what these parts cost to get chromed There is a company in Australia that can make keys from codes or pictures. I got a price of about $40 for 2 new keys plus freight. On a whim I called my local locksmith to see if they could cut a key from a code. He could. so I took some Nissan blanks I had and he cut me two keys for like $22 I wanted to get a new key and be sure when I keyed them that the new key would work the rekeyed locks. It's good I did becoaul the new key wouldn't work the locked I already rekeyed. I also stripped a door latch for plating I also reworked the floor vents with new foam. 2mm foam on the flaps and some 6mm foam around the edges After the glue set, I trimmed these back
