36" divided by 4 equals enuff sticks for 2 battery modules
how do you properly cut threaded stock to keep the nuts going back on them, any tips? |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Not necessarily, the one you used is curved, and that affects the aerodynamics of the downward strike....

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
I've done the same thing but I also grind a taper on the end of the rod before taking off the nut. It leaves a nice clean cut.
|
Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
With all tread, I typically spin a nut on before I cut and then taper the cut on a bench grinder and lastly spin the nut off to clean the threads. Hopefully this makes sense

there's also this for only $400 bucks (at $2.50 per pre cut 1 foot rod, we could buy 160 pre cut rods for that price) ha ha |

so here's a peak looksee what we are going for, I don't even know if that Tesla Model 3 battery charger / DC-DC converter combo unit is laying on there right side up or upside down, (you tell me, ha ha)
I am also entertaining shoving it under where the oil pan used to live there may be just enough of a cavity to bolt it up to the battery tray from underneath, for that German like impossible to get to to troubleshoot feel |

and this is all the crud that we manually remove with some hand tools such as the putty knife and metal toothbrushes and some elbow grease before even thinking of spreading the rest across our beautiful lawn with the wire wheel

so I thought maybe all that tar and road grease and grime is good for it maybe that keeps it from rusting? WRONG !
rust is like cancer, it is nasty and dwells under all that grime which only serves to capture and encapsulate moisture |

so got a new jug of Concrete and Metal Prep which they renamed, removed the "removes rust" part and there is no mention of Phosphoric acid anywhere on the 90% in Spanish label, also they raised the price, can't wait to see how lame this assumably new formula works
