Sorry I missed most of this one. Too bad that the thread drifted into areas of politics, religion and abortion, because they really don't have anything to do with the pros and cons of guns. For that matter, the right to keep and bear arms is something that is often agreed upon by both liberals...

Just got my gmail account back. The offending IP addresses originated in New York and Nigeria, two places that I hold in roughly equal esteem. The scammers thoughtfully deleted 6 years of carefully archived emails; at least now I have plenty of storage left. Anyway, here are some lessons...

Yeah, my gmail account got hacked...Facebook too. I really wish I knew how they did it because I want to make sure this never happens again. Spent all day changing bank accounts, etc. Hopefully Google will help me get my account back. Facebook is useless. Of course the dead give-away that...

Measuring bolt stretch is the most accurate method of correctly tightening a fastener. This is the preferred method for rod bolts, where both ends of the bolt are accessible for measuring bolt stretch. Measuring applied torque with a calibrated wrench runs a distant second in terms of...

OK, I found the old thread. There's some good tech in there. http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-tech-chassis-brakes-tires-wheels/11627-issues-chromed-suspension-pieces.html

I replaced my chromed trailing arms with fully adjustable 4130 steel pieces (threaded at both ends) and I had them electroless nickel plated, and I am happy with the results. I did a lot of research at the time on hydrogen embrittlement associated with plating steel - too lazy and tired to...

I wonder how many folks in the eerily silent 100-person audience discretely reached down and patted their strong side hip to make sure their Roscoe was ready, just in case.

Remember this one? ****Sigh**** The good old days.

The last Craftsman torque wrench I bought at Sears was a complete POS. Something broke behind the little plastic window through which you read the torque value and the display was illegible, so the wrench was completely useless, other than as a socket drive. The mouthbreather behind the...

That King Ranch interior is sweet!

I'd think wall thickness would be more important than type of SS.

Behold, a modern-day Willy Loman.

Nick, I agree that WWI was justified - it was truly a case of good vs evil. Things were much simpler then in many ways compared to today. I did not mean to imply anything about starting a war or nuking anyone, I simply wanted to point out the historical precedent that appeasement of a...

Ummm...Germany. Was that a trick question? Indeed. After the policy of appeasement was abandoned and the gloves came off.

Nick, you are advocating appeasement. How'd that work out for Great Britain, and much of the rest of the world, some 70 years ago? Our enemy today is just as ruthless, and even more fanatical.

I seem to remember seeing an India flag icon here recently.

The fact that the mosque developers haven't backed off the project despite the intense public opposition indicates there are hard-core elements involved.

Jim, your posts might have a little more credibility if they weren't riddled with spelling errors.

This is very good news. I've been actively ignoring/avoiding the issue of registering my GT40 in Massachusetts because the previous system was so ridiculous that I probably would have needed to work a deal with my brother in New York or Maryland where I would have him register the car and then...
