Re: The right way to use waterglass
"I know some will say not to use waterglass but I have before with good results." What the heck is "waterglass"? I know I use one when I want a drink of water, but I've never heard that term used and...

Re: Brake adjustment tool
What is meant by "the front/rear bias"? I have never heard that term and am curious. I pretty much use H. L. Chauvin's method. Thanks. Don/WI

Re: Brake lathe

Re: ubscrewed shift lever
In my original post (# 3) I suggested the possibility that the lower part may be made of a material that could be hardened to eliminated excessive wear. Even if that is not the reason for the three...

Re: ubscrewed shift lever
Who makes the repro lever that has a connector? What is the reason for the two parts? Is the bottom made of a hardened material so the sphere does not wear? If so, I would be interested in purchasing...
