I didn't like having to reach behind the core support to get the nuts on the bolts for the braces. If I remember right there were some welded on nuts, but broke loose when I removed the cross braces. I brought home the "thread setter" it's metric, but it's the only one I have. It's great for installing nuts in and inaccessible area. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC01997.jpg For those that aren't familiar with it, it's basically a rivet gun. Just don't squese (sp) til it pops. If you do that, it pulls the threads out. The nut sert is on the gun ready for install. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC01999.jpg Here it is installed. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC01998.jpg |
Re: Project Vitamin C-10
very slick Alan.....
Are the nuts easy to find and buy locally or do you have to order them? |
Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Arnt those called rev nuts Alan? not sure but we used them at freighliner all the time and they work really good! :metal:
By the way looks good ;) |
Re: Project Vitamin C-10
They are also called nutzerts. Depends on who sells/makes them. I used them with penske and still do now that im with mack.. I have them in both usae and met

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
One thing bad about the Nutzerts is if they aren't put in correctly they will spin after a bolt in installed, and you have to cut the head off to take apart what ever it is holding. I've seen a few. What a PITA. Other wise they are slick.

Shannon placed an order and this was my part of it. He's basically doing the same setup on his truck. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...k/DSC02000.jpg Here's the carb line installed. I guess I need to move my heater outlet to the other side of the intake. I don't have the skill/ability to route the hard line around the water outlet. Things don't always go as planned. When I made up the fuel line the other day, I shouldn't have done the last bend. Lesson learned, have every thing in place before running hard line. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...k/DSC02002.jpg |
Re: Project Vitamin C-10

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
My Dad had a big lathe that wasn't doing me any good just sitting there. Tried to sell it for a while and this is what a guy traded me for it. It's all snap-on except for the puller set (Mac) and the welding helmet. Now I need a bigger compressor to power the blast cabinet. It never ends.

[QUOTE=Alan's Classic;3687225]Yeah it was a monster wood lathe.
what kind (make) of lathe was it Alan, sounds like your Dad was into it a little serious Do you have a pic of it ron |
Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I just got my 37deg flair tool from matco. I like it. It is a different tool than most. It has a tee handle that clamps down on the line. The flair itself is fluted. but it is a single flair. I havent found any double flair type. I think the AN and the lines from the ls1 will work with that.
